Narrative

An electrician was retrieving an aerial lift from the dock. While driving the equipment back to the facility, the lift turned sharply, forcing the front right tire off the road and onto a levee. The lift tipped and ejected the employee from the basket. The employee was hospitalized with multiple fractures to the right leg including the shin and ankle.
