## Narrative

Conducting pressure checks on a brake valve, EE went between the right front tire and the frame to attach the pressure gauge. The other mechanic in the cab turned the wheel to the left, thinking they would check the valves in the same order as the previous truck, and this trapped employee between the tire and the frame. EE was diagnosed with four broken ribs and a punctured lung.
