Narrative

EE and a co-worker were changing a motor mount on a Chevy pickup. EE was underneath the truck and the co-worker was using a pry bar to remove the mount. The co-worker dropped the bar and it struck EE in the mouth. The impact chipped one of EE's front teeth and caused a small laceration to the underside of EE's tongue.
