An employee from the City of Covington's Department of Public Improvements was inside a backhoe when it flipped over while on the back of a truck in Devou Park Monday afternoon just after 3:00PM. The backhoe was driven up the ramp on the back of a transport truck that apparently rolled from a parking lot near the Behringer-Crawford Museum and then flipped in a field of grass. Covington Fire Chief Chuck Norris did not know the nature of the work being done at the time of the accident but said the city worker was not trapped but rather urged to remain in place after the backhoe flipped so as to prevent any injuries. That worker was taken to University Hospital in Cincinnati to be evaluated at the trauma center but is not believed to have suffered life threatening injuries. Rescue crews from the Covington Fire & Police Departments responded to the scene and after the worker was rescued two tow trucks were there to pull the backhoe and the truck from the grass. The employee's name was not immediately available.
