Narrative

A haul truck was backed into the shovel for loading when material came off the dig face landing on the tail of the truck' s box. This caused the truck to bounce, resulting in the driver hitting her nose on the steering wheel and stretching her back. On December 7th she received an epidural injection to relieve back pain.
