I was called on an incident from EE, the loader operator at 11:40. I went over to investigate. I asked if everyone was alright and they said they were fine. The dump truck drove the wrong way and ran into the loader as the loader was backing up. Asked why they went the wrong way and EE got offensive/called 911. Front end of dump truck was damaged/loader just scratched. No injuries.
