On January 27, 2012, Herman L. Weaver, Equipment Operator, age 69, was killed when the skid steer loader he was operating traveled into a 5-foot deep water hole. He was using a 10-foot scraper, mounted on the front of the loader, to clean a tailpiece on a belt conveyor when he backed the loader into a stream bed. Weaver could not drive the loader back to the road because he was unable to gain the traction needed to exit the stream bed. He then backed up the loader, attempting to get back to the road at another location. The loader traveled in reverse about 150 feet, went into the water hole, and overturned. Weaver was trapped in the loaders cab and drowned.
