Narrative

Employee went to the scale office to fill his water jug. He was driving back to the wash plant and next thing he knew the loader bucket curled down and dug into the road, he then guesses he went forward putting his chest into the steering wheel which he believes caused him to hit all controls forward and when he did that he curled the bucket more into the ground.
