March 2, 2013 TX · Metal/Non-Metal haul/off road/coal/ore/pit/quarry/rock/rubber tire truck driver, transportation truck driver POWERED HAULAGE
Vista Proppants and Logistics · Struck against a moving object

I did not know that this was not filed until I checked on it 5/30/13. The miner was driving a haul truck over a rut causing the seat to raise up and the force caused the nut holding the seat belt in place to come loose. She immediately stopped, got help and fixed the seat belt. Then told us her shoulder was hurt.
