Description:

On October 18, 2003, a 23-year-old Hispanic laborer (the victim) leaned outside a skid steer loader's operator compartment and was crushed between the frame of the skid steer loader and a scraper attachment. The victim and three other Hispanic coworkers were assigned to routine cleanup at a rendering plant. The victim was operating a skid steer loader equipped with a metal/rubber scraper attached to the loader lift arms. After completing his cleaning task, the victim drove the skid steer loader behind the plant. Approximately 10 minutes later, the plant manager went to look for him and discovered the victim crushed between the frame of the skid steer loader and the scraper attachment. The plant manager used the controls to release the victim, and he and a coworker carried the victim to the parking lot where they placed him on the ground. Meanwhile, another coworker called emergency medical services (EMS) from a telephone in the company's lunchroom. EMS responded within 7 minutes. They examined the victim and determined that he had sustained fatal head injuries. They contacted the county coroner who pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
