Narrative

Based on the reports, it appears that the EE backed the dozer he was operating down a hill so that it was in front of a water truck that was stuck and needed to be pulled up the hill. The EE exited the dozer to help with the dozer's winch and was between the dozer and the truck when one or both vehicles moved pinning the EE causing his fatal injuries. (See Attached Letter)
