Description:

On March 12th, 2021, a 57-year-old heavy equipment operator and 47-year-old rancher were run over by an excavator; they died from their injuries immediately. Another individual was able to stop the excavator without getting injured. At the time of the incident, the heavy equipment operator was standing on the tracks when the pilot control stop bar was accidentally released, allowing the machine to start moving. He fell in between the tracks. When the rancher saw him fall, he ran to the machine to pull him to safety but was also run over by the machine. The operator's lunchbox had been left resting on the travel control levers causing the machine to activate when the pilot control stop bar was accidentally released.
