Narrative

A mechanic disconnected a hydraulic hose from the final drive on a CAT 785 haul truck and placed one end up on the frame. As EE was putting plastic in place to cover the final drive, EE bumped the hose. It came off the frame and struck EE in the mouth. The impact from the end of the hydraulic hose cracked EE's upper right canine tooth.
