Investigation Summary
At 6:00 a.m. on September 26, 2018, Employee #1, a heavy equipment operator employed by a company engaged in site preparation, and a coworker employed by the general contractor, were riding from the parking area through a field to the work area, a levee being constructed. The coworker was driving a jobsite vehicle, a Polaris Ranger XP1000 all-terrain vehicle, and transporting Employee #1 to his equipment when the vehicle rolled into a ditch that was 7 feet deep, rolled over, and landed on its roof. Visibility at the time was affected by foggy and dusty conditions. The two employees were trapped inside the vehicle for 30 minutes until rescued. Neither employee was wearing a seat belt provided in the vehicle, which would have prevented them from being thrown around inside the vehicle during the incident. Employee #1 required hospitalization and treatment for lung injuries.
