PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Two people were killed in an accident involving a bulldozer Monday, according to the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office.
One man and one woman were involved in the accident on West Morgan Road near State Route 46.
Channel 3 learned the 1960’s bulldozer lost control and crashed into the car, causing it to roll over.
The sheriff’s office identified the two just before noon Tuesday as Kevin “Scott” Moore, 44 and Barb Hammer, 39.
The sheriff’s office tells WKYC that the bulldozer wasn’t moving. Moore was working on the bulldozer when it somehow began to move, running him over.
Moore recently purchased the bulldozer for $1,500. The car that was run over had Pennsylvania license plates.
WKYC is told that Moore and Hammer were employed by American Landfill Management in Ashtabula. Moore was a senior operator there and Hammer was the office manager.
She was described by co-workers as quiet and hard-working. Moore previously owned his own excavating company.
