Narrative

The employee was operating a valve which opens and closes a chute to fill cars with muck. He had just emptied the chute and a rock which must have been stuck to the side of the chute broke loose and fell, contacting the chute lip or check boards. It then bounced out of the empty chute lip and struck the employee on the right side of the abdomen causing a laceration/sutures.
