Narrative

An employee was walking backward, cleaning a roadway with a flat shovel. A rubber-tracked excavator, also backing up, approached the employee. Its tracks caught the employee's pants, which caused the employee to fall forward. The machine then caught the edge of the employee's foot. The employee suffered bruising to both feet and an ankle, as well as a bone chip on the front of the right heel.
