An employee with Baltimore's Department of Public Works (DPW) was injured Friday after falling from a sanitation truck, department officials said.

The incident occurred near the 1600 block of Pentwood Road. DPW officials said the truck went over a speed bump, and two Solid Waste employees lost their balance.

One of the workers was able to regain their footing on the vehicle, while the other fell to the ground.

The injured worker was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital for evaluation, according to officials.

The incident is under investigation, in accordance with DPW safety protocols, the department said.
