Narrative

Employee, operating a coal hauler, had just left the backhoe after being loaded. She was turning to go up the ramp when the tires caught the mud, causing the hauler to jacknife. When the trailer hit the trailer stops, the force of the impact jarred her from side to side in the cab. She sustained two fractured ribs, bruising to her thumb, leg and ear. She was wearing a seat belt.
