Narrative

At 7:45 pm EE was loading the first truck of the shift. When EE went into the dig face for the second bucket, the bucket skipped off a boulder and jarred the loader whipping EE around in the cab. Initially EE didn't think much of it but as the pain turned into spasms that's when EE called to report it. EE reported this incident to me at 3:15 am.
