Savercool, 44, of Prattville was fatally crushed and died instantly Monday afternoon when the bulldozer he was operating near Butt Lake went out of control on a steep slope and rolled over on him. Savercool was clearing right-of-way for the Laswell Construction Co. in connection with PG&E's Butt Lake hydroelectric project. He was traveling down a steep slope in the bulldozer, when it sudddenlty turned sideways and rolled over. He was thrown clear and caught beneath the machine. Sheriff-Coroner W. C.
