## Narrative

On December 15, 2021, at 10:50 AM, an employee was standing in 2 feet of water while guiding a crane operator, who was installing a 40-foot long concrete piling into a starter hole. The starter hole was created using a water jet, and as the concrete piling was being installed, the bank gave way, causing the employee's left foot to be caught between the wall of the hole and the concrete piling. The employee's left big toe was crushed, resulting in amputation.
