Narrative

A 2 Ton Come-along cable puller was being used to lower a pickup truck transmission to the ground. The chain or winch slipped and the handle struck the mechanic on the right side of the head and face. Four stitches were required to close the laceration on his eyebrow. Bruising was minor and did not require treatment.
