The employee entered the site and proceeded to the backside where the material waste was placed in holding ponds. As the employee was making a turn around a holding pond, something happened which made the truck stop turning and going to the edge of the holding pond.

The truck was submerged until only the driver side front tire was left visible. The employee was killed.
