Narrative

The employees were getting ready to wash the ledge with a water hose when they turned it on they didn't know it had some ice in it. The hose stopped up and caused pressure to build up in the hose. The employee that got hurt couldn't control the hose & got struck in the right eye. Happened fast. Nobody knows if the hose hit them or if they hit their eye when they fell.
