Narrative

EE pulled on the RW scale to scale the truck in. As EE was climbing out of the truck cab, the top step (attached to the battery box cover) gave way, and they slid to the ground with it, landing upright on their feet, on left leg,(potentially with knee locked straight). Following, EE was unable to put weight on it. x-rays showed knee broken at the top of tibia.
