Carlin Resources, LLC · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Three miners were traveling underground in a UTV. The driver pulled the UTV into a crosscut to allow traffic to pass when the UTV tipped onto the left side. The miner in back was bracing his left foot against the side of the UTV; when his foot slipped his leg was pinned under the left side of the UTV resulting in a fractured tibia.
