Narrative

Ee was attempting to remove sticks from the upstream side of a culvert. He was pulling on a partially burned stick approximately 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet long. He had both hands around the top of the stick and was pulling toward his face when the top portion of the stick broke off. As a result, the stick and debris hit him in the face and left eye.
