Mickelsen Construction, Inc · Struck by falling object

EE was standing between a primary rock screen and a crusher jaw when a rock hit EE in the head rendering EE unconscious. No witness saw the incident and it is unsure if the rock came off of the primary screen or out of the jaw. When EE came to, EE began to throw up. EE was taken to the hospital for a CT scan. Conclusion of injury is a concussion.
