Narrative

Employee was operating a ram car, driving it up onto a lowboy trailer. Bridge boards had been placed in brackets on the side of the trailer. When the ram car tire hit the joint of the boards, the board sprang up on the other end. The employee had leaned out of the cab to see if he was clearing the ramps & was struck by the board. Required stitches around his right eye.
