Narrative

The Geotemps employee was driving a pickup with the windows open. He drove into a pebble lime storage area striking a 2ft high pile of lime. The lime scattered with some coming into the cab of the pickup. It appears the employee inhaled some of the lime dust. Two hours after the incident he complained about chest pains and was transported to the emergency room.
