An accident occurred this day at 8:36 a.m. when the operator of the wheeled front end loader (Komatsu WA500 #YL1) was ejected from the cab and landed on the ground next to the rear tire of the loader. The operator was in the process of loading an off-road haul truck at the shot material stockpile, when an approximately 1.75-inch hydraulic line for the bucket lift cylinder failed.
