Narrative

An employee was working out of a lineman truck bucket about 18 feet over a coned-off lane, installing traffic light mounts on an under-bridge deck. A semi tractor trailer swung wide and hit the bottom corner of the lineman truck bucket. The impact pinched the employee's arm between the bucket and bridge, breaking the arm.
