Narrative

An employee operating a Komatsu dozer was pushing an ripping material on a downward grade, somehow the dozer slid sideways and continued to slide 35 feet off a 27 ft high embankment. The equipment rolled one revolution and landed back on its tracks. 911 was called, and then the employee was life flighted from the scene to the University of Utah Hospital.
