Narrative

Employee was operating a ramcar and was going around a corner. He turned the car too sharp and hit the coal rib with his cab/canopy. The rib dislodged and some pieces of coal flew off the rib and struck the victim in the mouth. This caused a laceration to his chin that required some stitches.
