What Happened?
A worker was fatally injured during water transfer operations. As a layflat hose was being filled during the initial line fill, a section of the line moved from flat ground onto a sloped berm.
The weight of the water pulled that section further down the slope, drawing the rest of the hose into the low ground as it went. The worker was caught and pinned as the hose rolled into the low ground. Despite immediate emergency response, the worker did not survive.
