Narrative

At 9:30 a.m. on March 7, 2022, an employee was operating a drill press when the drill paddle bit became hung up in the block. The employee began backing out the bit, and was trying to pry it free, when the shaft of the bit bent. When it came out of the block, it came around and struck the employee in the left elbow, then the upper left side of his ribs. He suffered a collapsed lung, as well as a laceration, and was hospitalized.
