Narrative

An employee was standing on a bridge sidewalk when a passing vehicle with a ladder rack snagged a vertical hand line hanging from the upper portions of the bridge. The rope struck the employee along the midsection and threw him against the bridge's hand railing. He suffered two fractured ribs, a mild concussion, and minor bleeding in the spleen.
