Narrative

Mechanic was working on the engine on the 11 haul truck and had to come down the work stand to get a tool. As he stepped off the last step of the stand, he felt his left knee pop & get stiff. The mechanic cont'd to work but the paid did not go away, so he reported to his supervisor and was taken to the hospital to get checked out.
