Narrative

Employee was driving a Mack road tractor with a dump trailer out of a clay pit when the truck lost traction and slid down the haul road incline. The dump trailer jack-knifed and lifted the tractor off the ground. When the tractor dropped back down to the ground the jarring from the wheels hitting the ground caused a compression fracture in his lower back.
