July 23, 2020 Fatal accident at work in the countryside of Butera, in the province of Caltanissetta. A worker was overwhelmed by a mechanical shovel he was maneuvering. On site there are ambulances of 118, the helicopter rescue and firefighters. According to a first reconstruction of the facts, the bob cat that was in the balance moved and the worker, exiting the passenger compartment, was overwhelmed by the same means of work.

The accident occurred on the banks of the Comunelli dam, in the territory of Butera. The dead worker, originally from Favara, was carrying out some excavation work with the bob cat to then create some electrical connections useful for measuring the quantity of water inside the reservoir.

The Carabinieri and Firefighters intervened on the spot to recover the body.

Two investigations have been initiated: one by the judiciary, the other by the labor inspectorate.
