Narrative

An employee was driving a side-boom operator across a temporary bridge. The bridge collapsed and the machine rolled slightly and came to rest at about a 45 degree angle. As the employee disconnected his seat belt, he fell from the machine and landed in the creek bed on his back. The fall caused hairline fractures to his scapula and a rib.
