While hauling coal on the haul road on the KY side, a mechanical issue caused the truck to roll backwards approximately 50 feet into the ditch and wall along the haul road coming to a stop. The driver dismounted the truck as it was rolling and landed on an uneven surface causing a fracture to lower right leg.
