Narrative

The operator of a 6 yd. LHD was mucking an ore pass (bore Hole). It became hung up and he was in too far when it opened up. The LHD became stuck and muck spilled into the operators compartment, some struck his left hand, causing an avulsion of the index finger and bruising to his left leg. Amendment: x-ray revealed fracture in leg.
