## Narrative

I was getting my toolbox on the bed of my truck after picking up the toolbox I turned to get down when I tripped on a jack which caused me to fall off my truck and I landed on the concrete surface head-first and I tried to break my fall with my left arm but I still hit my head. I received a cut on my head.
