Narrative

The employee was walking behind a moving scoop when the scoop batteries struck the top of a broken area of track rail and caused the rail to raise and shift onto the employees left foot. This caused the employee to fall and twist ankle. The employee was diagnosed with a fractured metatarsal and a dislocated metatarsophalangeal joint (big toe).
