## Narrative

He is a miner with limited experience running a Joy 10SC32 Shuttle Car.  He failed to recognize the hole in his tram road due to an inadequate examination during his pre-operational check.  He dropped his shuttle car into the hole in the tram road and the jarring of the tire dropping down caused him to strike his left knee against a metal bracket in the operator's deck.
