Employee fractures leg when hit by excavator

At 7:40 a.m. on October 2, 2020, Employee #1 was unloading tools from a truck. A coworker, the excavator operator, was sitting and waiting to get started. The truck was closer to the center of the road than normal, because pipes had been unloaded between the sidewalk and the truck. The coworker backed up the excavator to allow a car in the driveway to back out. The excavator hit Employee #1 in the leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized to treat a fractured leg.
