Narrative

The wedges on the back of the portable crusher hopper vibrated out and the hopper sides opened up slightly. EE went to clear the rocks out of the way and after clearing the last rock, the back of the hopper fell down striking him on the top of the foot, fracturing it. The hydraulic cylinder which moves the hopper side up and down was defective.
