Narrative

The employee was leveling up on the highwall when he backed his dozer over the edge. The dozer went down the 40' wall backwards turning slightly to the right. The dozer appears to have hit on the right track at the back of the machine, then laid over on its side. During this fall the employee's head hit something on the inside of the cab. He had to have 7 stitches.
