Narrative

A haul truck was traveling empty from the pit. It struck the berm on the pit edge with its left front tire. Skid marks indicated the truck slid about 4' as a result. The truck then traveled about 200' before stopping half way up the berm. The driver was taken to the hospital with visible head injuries. Initial investigation presumed he fell asleep and was not wearing his seat belt.
