On Saturday, January 2, 2010, at approximately 11:35 p.m., Rudolph 'Rudy' O. Lindstrom (victim), a 57-year old mechanic with 9 years mining experience and 17 years as a mechanic, was fatally injured in a powered haulage accident at the surface shop of the Bull Mountains Mine No. 1. The accident occurred as Lindstrom worked on a pickup truck with the bed modified to serve as a man trip vehicle. At the time of the accident, the front wheels were removed and the front end of the truck was supported by jack stands. The rear wheels were on the shop floor. Lindstrom, who was lying on the shop floor under the front of the truck, asked another miner to assist in removing the old power steering fluid from the system. The miner entered the truck, depressed the clutch pedal and started the truck, which was in gear at the time. After starting the truck, the miner's foot slipped off the clutch pedal, causing the truck to lurch forward and fall off the jack stands. The truck fell and struck Lindstrom, resulting in fatal crushing injuries.
