Narrative

Operator was working to unbridge #26/27 feeders on R-5 Reclaim. He was working the south side of the feeders, pushing toward #24/25 feeders. He was backing up for another push, when he misjudged his location and got too close to the bridged #26/27 feeders. As a result the dozer broke through and fell into the #26/27 feeders.
