## Narrative

An employee was driving a backhoe that was hauling dirt to build a new pond. As he drove between the new pond and an existing pond, the wind blew dirt into his windshield and the backhoe veered off into the existing pond. The bed tipped over but the cab did not. The seat belt caused injuries to the employee's chest including bruised lungs.
