Narrative

IE was bolting in face. As IE was drilling IE's drill bit would not make a hold due to angle and was just spinning off of desired mark in a downward direction. As IE did IE's drill wrench came loose out of drill chuck and due to angle of drill steel caused the wrench to be propelled at IE's station, striking IE in the face on lower jaw.
