Narrative

Employee was driving a van, dropping off haul truck drivers during their first break. He parked the van in the ditch at the ready line. He got the wheel chocks from behind the seat and proceeded to exit the van. As he stepped out, his left foot came down on a rock that was laying in the ditch. His foot rolled off the rock sideways twisting his ankle resulting in a sprain.
