Employee hospitalized when struck by headache ball

At 8:00 a.m. on June 13, 1994, Employee #1 was helping put sling(s) on the hook of a W.S. rubber tire mobile crane that was being used on a bridge construction project in Ventura, CA. The crane operator extended the telescoping boom, which caused the hook and ball assembly to be cinched up tight to the end of the boom. But the hoisting cable for the crane was broken and the hook and ball fell. Another coworker saw the hook and ball falling and yelled for Employee #1 to get out of the way. Employee #1 could not get out of the way, so the hook and ball hit him on the left shoulder, hand, hip, and knee. He was taken by a Ventura City Fire Department ambulance to Ventura County General Hospital and then transferred to West Hills Hospital, West Hills, CA.
