Narrative

EE was reinstalling the AC belt on a pickup truck. In order to place the belt on, EE was using a wedge tool to guide the belt back on. EE was leaning on the core body/radiator and as EE went to move away from the hood, felt a pop in left rib cage. EE sought medical attention the next day and was diagnosed with sprained left rib.
