Narrative

EE was changing the left front tire on his F-250 Ford pickup. They had jacked up the truck and removed the tire. The drill helpers tried to put the new tire on the hub, but the truck was not high enough. EE got under the truck to raise the truck to put the tire on, but the jack slipped and the truck fell on EE, on his right side.
