Narrative

While the dozer was pushing the windrow down the 2:1 slope, the operator backed up to catch the next windrow, a rock was buried out of sight. When the dozer climbed over it, dozer started to slide sideways & due to nature of the slope, the dozer rolled over. The operator suffered a laceration to his head & was taken to the hospital. Received staples to close the laceration.
