Narrative

An employee had pulled his semi-trailer over at a rest stop because the trailer door had opened. He was trying to pull down the door, gripping a strap with one hand and the trailer grip handle with the other hand, when he fell to the ground 2-3 feet below. He suffered a broken right shoulder, a fracture to a right-side middle rib, a punctured right lung, and a swollen esophagus.
