Narrative

An employee had just finished giving a class to new drivers and was strapping his equipment into the rear of a semi trailer. The end of the strap came loose on one end, and the momentum of the tightening strap pulled the employee out the rear of the truck to the ground. The employee suffered an elbow contusion and broken pelvis.
