Narrative

An employee was operating a crane with a wireless remote to move a steel beam in order to paint the bottom of the beam. The beam was set on saw horses. The employee clamped on the beam. The beam fell off the saw horses and landed on the employee's legs. The employee got pinned between the beam and a trailer that was behind him, where beams would be loaded after painting. The employee suffered two broken bones in their left leg below the knee and one broken bone in their right leg.
