Corchado's Dimensional Fence Rock · Struck against a moving object

On September 24 2010 a serious accident occurred at 10:15 a.m. at my mine when employee lost control of a front end loader, causing it to rollover. I am not aware of how it happened because I was not there at the time because I was working at another mine. He was injured severely and was hospitalized. The loader rolled over and came to a rest on its top.
