Narrative

Employee was driving the company pickup and was crossing a RR track but failed to notice that the sand normally between the rails had been cleaned out leaving a 5"" drop. Even though the employee was wearing his seat belt and hard hat he bounced up into the cab roof and injured his neck. Lack of visibility was the main contribution to the incident.
