## Narrative

While walking on even ground in the pit area inspecting a haul truck a mechanic stepped on a small rock causing the leg to slip resulting in what was believed to be a strain to the knee. After continued discomfort a CT scan was ordered and read on September 7th which showed a non displaced hairline fracture of the tibia.
