Narrative

An employee was using a railcar mover to move a damaged rail car to be unloaded. The rail car did not have functioning brakes at the time. As the employee backed the rail car down the track, it started to go down an incline. The employee lost control and the rail car and railcar mover flipped on its side. He was dislodged from his seat and his knee struck an object inside the railcar mover.
