SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON at Carmeuse Lime and Stone Inc
The EE walked to a roadside berm that had 2 feet wide opening to allow water to exit the roadway into a ditch. While standing at this opening, the ice underneath EE broke, causing EE to lose EE's balance. EE then slid down the ditch wall 4 feet before EE's left foot contacted a tree branch. This contact resulted in a dislocated and fractured ankle.
