## Narrative

An employee was sitting in a concrete truck that was stuck in the mud. The back of a second concrete truck was attached to the front of the concrete truck that was stuck in the mud by a ratcheting strap. The connecting strap snapped, flinging the metal ratchet device crashing through the driver side window of the concrete truck. The device struck the employee in the head, causing a forehead laceration that required sutures and hospitalization.
