Phoenix Mining Company · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

While cleaning up the ramp into the pit, a 992 Loader bumped the right rear of a 773 end dump truck parked close to a 2nd end dump facing opposite directions. The truck operators were conversing through open doors and the bumped truck bumped into the 2nd truck causing the open door to slam on the 2nd truck operator's upper arm and caused a strain/contusion to the arm.
