Narrative

The EE was operating a R-65 Haul truck and smelled rotten eggs, so rolled up the windows. A little later the battery exploded and ruptured EE's right ear drum. Upon further investigation, the alternator was over charging the battery which caused the explosion. The EE was restricted for five days.
