Narrative

An employee was manually reading the electric meters at an abandoned home. He was walking back to his vehicle through overgrown vegetation and household debris when he stepped in a hole, twisted his left knee, and fell to the ground. As he got up and tried to walk, his right knee twisted as well and he fell a second time. The employee sustained a torn left quadricep tendon and a torn right patellar tendon requiring hospitalization and surgery.
