Narrative

The small water truck was being used to wash mud off of H-7 conveyor with a water cannon. As the millwright apprentice drove the water truck up the 30-35 degree incline to get to H-7 conveyor, the truck engine stalled and the operator lost control of the vehicle. The water truck drove backwards down the incline, hit a berm, and tipped onto its left side.
