SQUISH ME!

On Thursday 24th April 2003 a GPA dozer driver working at Barney Point
Coal Facility accidentally ran over a Toyota Hilux dual cab 4wd with a
Caterpillar D10 dozer.

As the dozer driver was working alone he had driven the ute to the
stockpile area where he was to be working and parked it there just off the
road. He then walked approximately 400m back to the dozer shed to pick up
the dozer and drive it back to the same stockpile area, He did this so he
would have a vehicle to use to return to the lunch room for smoko's,
lunch, etc.

While driving the dozer to the stockpile area a combination of coal dust
stirred up by the dozer tracks, having the dozer blade high off the
ground and a bit of memory lapse caused him to hit the ute with the dozer
blade, the ute was overturned, squashed to a level where it fitted under
the blade then went underneath the dozer, it wasn't until the dozer driver
saw shrapnel flying out from beneath the dozer that he stopped, reversed
back and found the ute as it is in these pictures.
