Narrative

An employee was tightening straps for beams (each are 90 pounds, 10-feet-long) on a semi-trailer when the beams became unstable and fell off the trailer and onto the ground and the employee's right foot. This resulted in the surgical amputation of the two little toes and half of his middle toe.
