FALL OF ROOF OR BACK
Yellow Rose Coal, LLC · Struck by falling object
EE was roof bolting on 3/19/2012. A piece of rib fell and hit his left ankle. He did not want an ambulance and just went home. The next day on 3/20/2012 at 3:30PM he went to a clinic and was diagnosed with a broken ankle. Tough guy.
