Narrative

The injured employee and a Motorman put an empty supply car on the Contrary Service Cage in order to send to the surface. When the injured uncoupled the car and flagged the Motorman to pull away, one of the safety chains caught the horn on the motor coupling, which pulled the supply car on the right leg of the EE, resulted in fracture of the right tibia and fibula.
