Narrative

EE was operating a 785 rock truck when he became disorientated in the fog. He then drove out of the road, across a drill bench, through a berm and over a highwall landing in a shot. The truck then caught on fire and we were unable to extinguish the fire within 30 minutes. EE exited the truck without injury.
