Quarry landslide search reaches Murray Taylor's excavator cab

Murray George Taylor's excavator cab has been found collapsed as searchers shift 750 tonnes of rubble from the landslide that buried the quarry boss.

Taylor, 56, who is the director of the Heathstock Haulage lime quarry, is feared dead after about 1000 tonnes of rubble came down in a landslide about 10.40am on Monday.

A geotechnical survey of the site was completed on Tuesday morning, and heavy duty equipment such as excavators, bulldozers and winching equipment was brought in.
