Narrative

An employee located a ticket that required him to maneuver down an embankment under a highway overpass. A contractor then approached the area to have a discussion, so the employee proceeded down the embankment to speak with the contractor. About halfway down, he was stepping on a boulder when it shifted. His right foot twisted and broke, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
