Narrative

A mechanic was changing the front tire on a 15 ton Ford dump truck. The mechanic removed the bad tire and leaned the tire against a hand rail. As the mechanic walked away from the tire, it fell and struck the mechanic in the back of the leg. This caused the mechanic to fall backwards, towards the falling tire. The incident resulted in a broken leg.
