Employee couldn't see above the sides of the truck for correct location under chute, so EE straddled between the truck and the concrete wall to see the correct chute location. Employee slipped off the step and fell between the wall and the truck on the ground and bent right knee out on a 45 degree angle. It was diagnosed on 11/3/16 that employee had a broken tibia.
