Narrative

EE was watching the 2 inch water line hose as it was being pulled by a scoop, when the coupler on the line caught on a rib corner. The line stretched tight and the coupler came apart allowing the end of the water line to strike the injured on the right leg just below the knee resulting in a fracture to both the fibula and tibia bones.
