Narrative

Water truck driver was discovered to be injured by another miner at the water tower. The injured driver didn't remember how EE was injured, and there were no witnesses. It's suspected the driver either fell from ground level or off the rear access ladder of the truck. The second scenario is believed to be more likely due to the nature and severity of the drivers injuries.
