Narrative

The injured employee was retrieving materials from a work truck. A semi-truck with a tarp covering a load of corn passed by and the tarp on the truck came loose. As the employee was climbing into the work truck, the loose tarp caught the employee and threw him approximately 30 to 40 feet, resulting in broken bones and a punctured lung.
