Narrative

While helping set bits on the continuous miner the ee started down the #3 entry and was struck by a piece of rock that fell from between the bolts and pushed the ee to the floor striking him on the shoulder and left leg. The injury was not known until 11/9 due to a previous injury, when an MD read a MRI revealing a fracture to the tibia.
