Narrative

On May 24, 2018, at approximately 10:20 p.m., an employee drove to a local site to pick up a drilling jar/tool. While the employee was waiting for the trailer to be loaded, the drilling jar (which was over 20 feet long, 6 inches wide, and weighed approximately 2,000 lbs.) rolled out of the trailer and struck the employee's right foot. The employee's right foot broke, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
