Narrative

Employee was using a pry bar to hit an air activated rail car door that did not open. He was crouched down so he could pry it open, but there wasn't anywhere he could pry it. As he was crouched with the pry bar in his hand, the door automatically opened, striking the pry bar which hit the employee on the forehead.
