Narrative

In order to dump a large rock from the bed of the Caterpillar haul truck, the Miner stopped short of the dump to unload on the top of the dump. The dump spotter misjudged the distance to berm causing the rock to rest on the berm and the tail of the truck when dumped. This caused the front of the truck to be jarred, injuring the Miner.
