Narrative

A truck driver and an employee were holding a toolbox crate on a truck lift gate. The toolbox was too heavy for the lift gate. A second employee was taking things out of the toolbox to lighten the load. The truck driver then let go of the toolbox. It started to roll off the lift gate and fell on the first employee's feet, fracturing his left foot and requiring overnight hospitalization.
