Narrative

An employee delivered plywood to a project site and was walking away on the opposite side of panels boards being installed when he fell to the ground unresponsive. He was hospitalized with external and internal head trauma from a bullet-nail, which pierced his skull and was embedded in his head. A ricochet may have occurred through the panel boards being installed, causing the nail to strike the employee.
