Narrative

On April 18, 2021, a maintenance employee was pushing a rail track switch lever to move the track so that an amusement park train could continue on its way. The switch was blocked, and when he gave it a harder push, his hands slipped off it. The lever hit his lower abdomen and ruptured part of his small intestine. He was hospitalized.
