Narrative

There was screen material in the back of a pickup truck that was being used to build a guard. It was snowing and blowing heavily and the employee got up to go to the pickup. He was walking with his head turned to keep the snow out of his face and ran into the screen material in the back causing a laceration to left side of nose requiring 7 to 8 stitches to close.
