Narrative

Employee was pushing with the D5 Cat Dozer. While backing up, he ran into a tree causing the dozer to shake very hard. He said he hit so hard it caused pain in his neck. He didn't feel like he needed to go have it checked, he just applied heat to it, said he just wanted to file it in case it got worse.
