Narrative

EE was getting back in the truck. While climbing the access ladder he lost his grip at the third step (approx. 3') falling backwards to the ground and landing on his back, striking his right elbow on the ground causing it to swell instantly. EE was taken to Immanuel hospital in Omaha where x-rays indicated a broken elbow requiring surgery.
