Narrative

Employee was using a pry bar in an attempt to prod limestone down to the crusher rollers. The pry bar hit a cavity in the material which allowed the pry bar to travel down and make contact with the rotating crusher roller. This caused the pry bar to kick back at the employee. The end of the pry bar hit the employee on his right cheek below his right eye.
