Narrative

On November 16, 2021, a truck driver was removing straps from a load of utility poles on a flatbed trailer. When he removed the last strap, the top pole on the load rolled off and struck the left side of his body, crushing his left wrist and the lower part of his left leg. He was hospitalized, and the leg was medically amputated below the knee. He also suffered a brain injury and two fingers were medically amputated.
