Narrative

The right rear tire on the 201 haul truck failed as it exited the 52 shovel loading pattern. The tire failure caused a cobbing size rock to strike the 207 haul truck windshield. Shattered glass came in contact with the 207 haul truck operator's face and resulted in a right eye corneal abrasion. The employee received and used prescription eye drops.
