Narrative

EE was in the process of changing a flat tire on a 3-wheeler transport ride underground on #2 unit. He had hooked a chain to the front of the 3-wheeler and was in the process of raising the ride about a foot and a half, when the chain came off, causing the ride to hit him on the left knee. Because of low coal, he was on both knees. He was taken to a local hospital for cut to knee.
