Narrative

Multiple oversized boulders were loaded onto haul truck HT107, creating a rough load event. This sudden impact resulted in the operator sustaining a back injury severe enough to require a mayday call over the radio. No vehicle damage occurred; however, the operator's injury required immediate medical evaluation.
