Narrative

Employees were unloading a barge into a charge truck on the scrap dock. The crane operator was stepping out of the cab to relay a message to a dockhand. When he returned to the cab of the crane his shirt caught on one of the joysticks and pulled the grapple toward the machine. The grapple struck the charge truck driver resulting in a head laceration and contusion resulting in hospitalization.
