Narrative

A mining foreman was operating a Cat D6K2 LGP dozer blading a haul road. While blading he struck a rock, buried in the subgrade. This stopped the machine suddenly, causing the operator to lunge forward and strike his head against a steel grab bar in the machine. Injury resulting was a left forehead laceration above the left eye, requiring 10 stitches.
