Investigation Summary
At 9:20 a.m. on August 16, 2019, an employee used a well pump truck (Ford 450 with monitor 33 Hoist) to pull water well pipe for replacement of an old pump. While pulling up a section of pipe, the pipes began to go down instead of up and the steel rope (load line) somehow caught the employee's right forearm and hand. The employee managed to pull their arm out but still received fractures to their arm and hand. The employee was taken, by ambulance, to the hospital and hospitalized for six days for two surgeries to treat the fractures.
