Narrative

The men were using the Mac 8 and Mac 3 at the end of the shift to come out of the mine. The Mac 8 driver's foot slipped off the pedal and caused the machine to slow. The Mac 3 bumped into the back end of the Mac 8. The machines were traveling approximately 5-8 mph. This caused a jolt and resulted in a strain to employee's neck and back.
