Narrative

An employee attempted to throw a 3 pound rail anchor into the back of a grapple truck, but the rail anchor ricocheted off the sideboard of the truck instead of landing in the back and struck another employee standing nearby in the mouth, lacerating the employee's upper lip and fracturing the employee's upper jaw.
