A Westfield, N.Y. man has died after he was hit by a bulldozer at the Chautauqua County Landfill Monday.

The accident was reported at 1:32 p.m.

Scott Deming, 56, was standing behind a large pile of garbage he had just dumped from his garbage truck when the bulldozer operator started to push the pile of garbage into the pit, according to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said the bulldozer operater did not know Deming was behind the pile.

The bulldozer hit Deming, who was later pronounced dead when emergency crews arrived, the Sheriff's Office said.

The investigation is ongoing, but the Sheriff's Office is calling it an accidental death and said no charges are expected.
