An employee was cleaning mud from a roadway while a trackhoe was being operated nearby. A car came over the hill in the same lane as the employee. When the employee stepped out of the way, he moved in the direction of the turning trackhoe. His overalls were caught by the track, which pulled his left leg underneath. His left leg below the knee had to be surgically amputated.
