## Narrative

Two vehicles traveling on a one lane road in opposite directions did not hear each other on the radio and made contact at a blind corner.  The employee was already planning on getting knee replacement surgery sometime this fall but this incident made the decision EE was going to do it sooner.  We did not know this was going to be a work comp claim until 4/29/26.
