## Narrative

An employee was standing on the wheel well of a sweeper vehicle. He was checking the radiator water level immediately after shutting the machine down. As he was filling the radiator with water, it began to bubble up, so he dismounted the machine. He landed oddly on the ground and fractured his left leg above the ankle.
