The supervisor was coming around the bucket when he saw the coworker hit the track with the bucket as he was backing up. The supervisor ran over to Employee #1 and pulled him out of the way. The track fell over, striking Employee #1 on his left leg, just above his ankle. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
