FREEPORT – No laws appear to have been broken in the accidental death of a landscape worker from Limington who was crushed on June 10 by a Bobcat skid steer loaded with cement, Freeport Police Chief Gerry Schofield said Monday.

Scott W. MacDonald, 59, was helping the driver of the skidder open the door of the machine, which was stuck, Schofield said. MacDonald was one of three employees of Cumberland-based Coastal Landscape Construction & Snow Services who were working on the concrete steps at 136-140 Main St. that lead between the upper and lower levels of Olympia Sports, Subway and Tuscan Bistro, Schofield said.

“From our end, we’re just handling it as an accidental death,” Schofield said. “We will give all our reports to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), and they will determine if there was any kind of workplace violation.”

Public safety officials were called to the scene of the accident at 8:54 a.m., and reported that they found MacDonald dead at the scene four minutes later.

Schofield said that MacDonald was working on the bottom level of the site, when the driver of the skidder had trouble opening the door. When MacDonald stopped to try and help the driver unlodge the door, the forks fell on him, Schofield said.

“It’s in OSHA’s hands at this point,” the chief said.

Kathy Simmons, acting area director for OSHA, said Monday that she could make no comment on the accident because it remains under investigation.

Detective Gino Bianchini and Officer Paul Powers investigated the accident for Freeport police.
