Narrative

At approximately 8:40 am, Monday August 9th, 2021, a 789 haul truck (Unit#522) approached the PAD 4 ROM rock stockpile used to feed the Pad 4 crusher. While positioning the haul truck to dump in reverse, the haul truck operator stopped at the dump edge preparing to dump when the dump floor gave away causing the haul truck to tip.
