EE had just loaded dump truck w/gravel using loader. It is believed that EE passed out, due to a high fever, while backing up. The loader backed into the berm and tipped over on its side. Truck driver helped EE out the loader. Another EE took EE to the doctor because EE was disorientated and trying to go to sleep. The accident resulted in EE having a concussion.
