Narrative

The dozer operator working the Code 25 dump observed a crack. Simultaneously, the operator of haul truck 421 arrived and positioned parallel to the dump approximately 75 feet away from the crest. As the truck operator initiated dumping, another crack propagated, the dump face failed, causing the truck to descend with the dump. The haul truck operator sustained minor injury.
