Narrative

As the operator was returning from the ash pit in a Komatsu 330M end dump, he met a fuel truck and slid off the road. The roads were wet from rain, and the road way is narrow. The operator called the supervisor on shift to assist in bringing a cable choker to pull the truck out with. As the operator was pulling the choker into place to hook up to the truck, he strained his back.
