Narrative

On October 17th, 2023, an employee was dismounting 510-190 dozer. As the employee was stepping off the draft arm, they slipped and fell backwards. As they fell the left foot became wedged between the arm and the track of the dozer causing their lower leg and ankle to twist. This resulted in a fracture to the tibia and fibula of the left lower leg.
