Enercorp Inc · Struck against a moving object

Employee was driving a 350 rock truck up ramp & started to spin. He let up on the throttle & stalled the motor. When he pushed on the brakes the truck started backward down the ramp. He ran over a large rock on side of ramp which caused his head to hit the right side window of the cab. Later upon inspection of the rock truck he found 2 brake lines had blown out.
