Narrative

While transferring fuel from a mobile fuel tank on a tractor trailer to a grader, an employee on the ground conducting the fueling was struck by the grader tire and injured (torn muscles in right shoulder, bruised arm and bruised ankle). The operator of the grader thought the grader was in neutral when they let off the clutch, but it was in forward gear.
