EE came on to our premises looking over the rocks we have at our facility. He is a regular customer that uses the rocks for his landscaping jobs in the area. Upon looking he was moving a rock which shifted others and one came down upon his right ankle pinning it between 2 large rocks. Our crew heard him and was there immediately and pulled his leg out. We called the ambulance.
