Narrative

The Grader operator was pushing material to the right rib at roughly 3mph when a rock measuring 1'X 1.5'X 1.5' rolled over top of the blade and then under right rear tires of the Grader. When this occurred the seat-belted operator's right elbow hit the armrest forcefully, causing a sprain to the employee's right shoulder. The full extent of the injury is currently unknown.
