## Narrative

Stated:  Employee was examining the 4C belt line. He was driving a golf cart. As he was driving through an area where clearance between rib and belt structure was limited, one of his front tires hit something.  It caused the steering wheel to jerk and threw his left arm into the belt structure.  A bone in his arm just up from his wrist was fractured.
