Employee stopped dozer to look behind when his neck popped. He could not turn head to side afterward. The mine believes due to no noted mechanism of injury that this is not work related. Potential causal factors found include employee having a metal plate in his neck from a previous non-work related event, and that he was "breaking a philly" the previous day.
