Narrative

The employee was changing scoop batteries in a crosscut on the Unit 4 travel way, when another employee was driving out battery-first on a ram car and struck the front of the scoop bucket, causing the scoop to roll backward. When the scoop rolled backward, the injured employee's right leg was pulled into the area between the scoop tire and the frame of the scoop.
