Narrative

Victim was operating a D-11-N dozer approx 15 ft from the highwall. A rock approx 12"" x 4"" broke loose from the highwall & went through the left door window striking him in the lower leg. The highwall had been scaled, however a lot of rain had fell in the previous couple of days & probably contributed to the rock coming out of the higwall. Compound fracture to lower left leg.
