Narrative

While driving a kubota utv, some salt dust fell in eyes and when they went to wipe the dust from their eyes, they swerved to the right and drove into a chunk of salt and rolled the utv onto it's side. When they rolled the UTV, their mine belt had a harness ring on the back and that's what they landed on, fracturing their L2 vertebrae.
