Narrative

An employee was driving a forklift in an outside yard. The forklift became stuck on the gravel and dirt and had to be towed with a cable attached to the top of its roll cage. It flipped, and the employee's leg was caught between the engine cover and the left side of the truck. He suffered a broken tibia and fibula.
