Narrative

An employee was squatting on the tracks of a bulldozer, inspecting it and taking photos. He stood up to attend to someone talking to him and his foot slipped off the outside of the track and he fell from the bulldozer. As he fell, his right leg became stuck between the roller frame and push arm resulting in a fractured tibia and fibula.
