Final narrative
An employee was attempting to remove the drag link, also known as a steering arm, on a ready-mix concrete truck. He removed the front nut and was attempting to remove the rear nut but it would not come free. He then used a sledge hammer and struck the nut, which came off, causing the steering to swing and strike the employee on the left cheek and eye. The employee sustained a left orbital fracture, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
