Narrative

An employee was placing road barrels on a street for future road work activities. A nearby flatbed truck struck a telephone pole while turning, causing chain link security fencing to strike the employee in the chest and pin them against a steel handrail of the platform and the fence. The employee suffered fractured ribs on both sides, a lacerated liver and pancreas, and a ruptured spleen that required surgery.
