Employee's leg fractured when struck by shifting timbers

Employee #1 finished loading timber onto a flatcar and then positioned himself in a 1-ton battery trammer to back the car to the unloading area, about 100 ft away. The timber extended between 5 and 6 ft beyond either end of the flatcar. As he was backing, Employee #1 struck an ore car that was parked at the end of the track to serve as a stop. The collision forced the timber into the cab of the trammer, striking Employee #1's upper leg. Two coworkers in the nearby mine shop heard the crash and went to help. They extracted Employee #1 and drove him to the mine office, from where local EMTs were alerted. Employee #1 suffered a fractured left leg, for which he was hospitalized.
