Employees injured when struck by small rocks after explosion

Employees #1 and #2 were part of a crew that was excavating a trench and laying sewer pipe. The excavator was digging through fractured rock that had been blasted previously.

Small rocks flew through the air and struck Employees #1 and #2. The employees were transported to the hospital, treated, and released.
