Narrative

Two miners on the rehab crew were in the process of installing 5 foot split set rock bolts with a pneumatic drill from the deck of a scissor lift truck. When the crew bottomed out the hole, the drill steel became bound inside the hole. As the operator collapsed the leg, a large slab fell from the back striking the scissor truck causing injuries to the rehab crew.
