On September 8, 2016, a 58-year old haul truck operator with 23 years of experience was killed at Heidelberg Cement Neverson Quarry, North Carolina.
The victim was operating a Caterpillar 773E haul truck and was returning to the pit to be loaded with shot rock. The truck veered from the right side of the haul road to the left and travelled over the berm at the top of the highwall. The truck landed upside down approximately 150 feet below. The victim was found outside the haul truck. (Source: Aggregate Research)
