Narrative

EE was backing (rear lights on) on a 636 Long Airdox Shield Hauler 1 break out by the long wall face at cross cut #88 into the #3 left cross cut where he ran over an airlock door top beam which was hidden in the mud. The rear tire hit the beam resulting in the end rising, and entering the operator's compartment causing crushing injuries.
