Fatal trench collapse in Boonton caused by company's indifference to safety, authorities say

BOONTON TOWNSHIP -- A landscaping company is facing up to $77,000 in fines after federal officials found its lack of cave-in protections led to a trench collapse that killed two workers in October , authorities said. Employees of Bednar Landscape Services were installing a French drain system at the historic James Dixon Farm on Rockaway Valley Road on Oct. 1 when the trench they working in collapsed, killing workers Oscar Portillo and Selvin Zelaya.
