Narrative

The employee had the hood on his semi pulled. While leaning into the engine compartment the wind came up. It caused the hood to close and the employee was struck in the back of the head. His head was pushed forward, knocking out his front teeth and causing all but three to be loose. All but three teeth were removed at a dental appointment.
