One of the former Tesla employees interviewed by Reveal outlines how he was injured on the job when a Model S trunk lid fell on him as he was working on the assembly line, applying sealant to the inside of the vehicle's cargo area.

The injury that resulted was allegedly downplayed by clinic workers on multiple occasions, though he was eventually directed to an off-site clinic also run by Access, where he was diagnosed with a crushing back injury and intractable pain. He was put on restricted duty and sent back to the assembly line the next day to work from a wheelchair.
