Narrative

A crew was loading poles in the yard. An employee went to remove a pole that was stuck between two other poles. When he stepped up onto the poles, his right foot was caught in a pinch point. One of the poles rolled onto his right leg, just above his ankle, resulting in a broken right leg.
