Narrative

An employee was walking at ground level and stepped in a 6 inch x 6 inch hole with left foot. This caused EE's right leg to slide out from under EE putting pressure on the left leg. When EE was trying to get up, EE heard a pop and felt their left leg give out. The ground conditions in this area were wet and muddy.
