Narrative

EE stated that while operating the 21SC shuttle car being loaded by the continuous mining machine, the bumper of the CM came in to contact with load end of the shuttle car. When the car operator pulled away, this caused the dump in to be raised slightly then fall suddenly, jarring the car operator resulting in EE's head hitting EE's head on canopy.
