Narrative

An employee was monitoring as a tree was felled. The tree hung up; an excavator pushed on it to clear it, and its top half snapped and sprung backwards toward the crew. Part of this upper section, about 4 inches in diameter, struck the employee in the back of the right leg as he was trying to get away. He suffered an open fracture of the tibia and fibula.
