Narrative

A load lugger work crew was unloading a roll-off bin. An employee was removing a cable from the bin when the truck rocked backwards slightly. The employee's left leg was pinched between the tilted rails where the cables were attached, resulting in a fracture to his fibula and a laceration to his calf area. He was hospitalized, requiring surgery.
