Narrative

On last pass there was a large boulder that was too big to go through the opening of the shovel so the operator ""shook it"" off, the boulder hit the overshot on the bed of the truck, shaking and bouncing the truck. EE reported, asked to be seen by doctor on 5/20. Diagnosed with cervical pain and thoracic sprain, released with restrictions.
