Illinois Mining Corporation · Struck by falling object
Employee blocked and jacked the welding truck to work on it. While working under it, he called over a co-worker to assist. A third employee was also asked to help and while working on the welding truck, it swayed sideways, causing the jack and blocks to roll, placing the truck down onto its tires. The employee under the truck sustained bruises, a fractured collarbone and pelvis.
