Narrative

A trained foreman was sitting in a ride in a switch with his lights on when the ride was struck by another ride because the driver said he could not see the ride due to the height of the canopy on his ride. The collision resulted in his back being hurt, and was caused by poor communication and the poor visibility. Lack of PPE was not a factor. Area was well lit.
