Abstract: At 7:10 a.m. on September 9, 1996, Employee #1, of Bryan & Son Construction, Inc., Bakersfield, CA, was setting trusses on a single-story, single-family home with the help of a crane. The trusses had been erected and were temporarily braced off. Apparently, one of the crane cables became entangled in the trusses, pulling it over toward Employee #1. He fell into the garage, striking his head on the concrete floor. Employee #1 sat up and was resting when he went into convulsions. Emergency 911 was called and he was admitted to Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield.
