Narrative

On 2/23/17, at approximately 12:45 p.m., an employee was replacing U-bolts on the rear drive axle of a full-sized tractor-trailer when the jack that was supporting the truck slipped out from underneath, causing the employee's left forearm to be caught against a spring and the axle. The employee suffered a compound fracture of his forearm and was hospitalized for surgery.
