Narrative

Two employees were detaching a boom from a high-track skid steer in order to place a gas line. The injured employee was positioned between the skid steer and the boom attachment while removing the hydraulic hoses. The other employee inadvertently caused the skid steer to track forward onto the injured employee's lower leg and foot, resulting in a fractured left tibia.
