Employee's knee dislocated in fall from Bookmobile

On September 9, 2001, Employee #1, a librarian and substitute driver of the County Library's Bookmobile, backed the vehicle out of the garage and drove to the front of the library to conduct a walk-around inspection. She was descending from the cab of the GMC vehicle, model T8500, license #E055715, when she slipped and fell to the ground, dislocating her left knee. Employee #1 was taken by paramedics to the hospital, where she underwent surgery. The Bookmobile had two slip-resistant steps leading to the cab and three handholds on the door frame. The weather was dry and the ground was level.
