WORKSAFE are investigating the death of a 68-year-old Quarry operator who died after being crushed under the back wheels of a prime mover at a Mitiamo property last week.
It is believed the sole trader was working underneath the truck attached to a trailer when it rolled backwards on Tuesday, May 13.
The man was dragged around 40 metres before being discovered at approximately 10.20am.
WorkSafe will assist to prepare a report for the coroner.
The death is the 18th confirmed workplace fatality in 2025.
