Narrative

The employee was using a ""Handi-Man"" jack to raise the back of a pickup. The handle bounced up, and struck him above the left eye. He was treated at the Colstrip Medical Center and four stitches were used to close the open wound. He was given a release to return to work his next scheduled shift. Neither time nor wages were lost.
