Narrative

The employee was helping spot a rib bolt when a rock rolled out of the rib and struck EE behind the metatarsal guard of EE's boot. The rock punched a hole in the top of EE's foot that was too deep the clean, so the medical facility did not clean it right away. This prevented stitching of the wound.
