Narrative

On February 16, 2017, at approximately 8:30 AM, an employee and a coworker were walking along the right side of a trash truck, picking up trash bags and containers. His coworker picked up a large trash bag, swung it around, and accidentally struck him, causing him to lose his balance. The truck's rear tires then ran over both his ankles and feet. He suffered left foot fractures and bruises/cuts to his right foot, requiring hospitalization.
