## Narrative

A haul truck operator was pulling away after being loaded when an excavator bucket contacted the truck tailgate. The excavator operator believed the truck bed might roll over and attempted to stop it with the bucket. The contact jolted the truck operator in the seat, causing lower back pain. The operator was transported to a clinic and diagnosed with a lower back strain.
