Narrative

Coarse material was loaded into a Cat 772 by a Cat 988, which caused the truck and operator to be shocked very hard. The truck operator was leaning forward on the steering wheel, and his seat pressure had been lower for road comfort. The shifting truck caused him to be slammed into the seat which hurt his upper back and made it hard for him to breath (thoracic strain).
