## Narrative

An employee was driving a delivery vehicle when he determined that he needed to put on chains to reach the delivery location. While he was stopped in a parking lot to put on chains, a vehicle in front of him (also putting on chains) began to slide into him due to icy conditions, pinning him against the truck. He sustained damage to his ribs, lungs, and shoulder, as well as nerve damage to his neck and left arm.
