Narrative

An employee was bringing a newspaper rack out of a storage shed when she slipped on ice/snow that was on the shed's ramp, resulting in her falling to the ground and striking a nearby safety bollard with her leg. She sustained a fractured tibia and fibula and underwent surgery later that afternoon and was admitted to the hospital.
