Narrative

The injured was attempting to pin the bottom holes of a battery lift cradle. As EE leaned over the cradle to check the hole alignment, one of the crib blocks that was placed under the load toppled over from underneath the cradle, which caused the cradle to become unbalanced and fall striking EE's left foot.
