During descent, the aircraft encountered severe turbulence during which one of the cabin crew received serious injury.
Probable cause:
It is highly probable that the aircraft moved viciously during the descent phase due to improper handling of controls by cockpit crew while arresting high rate of descent, which caused cabin crew to lose balance (whiule closing the door of lavatory) and fell down awkwardly, which resulted in left leg fracture.
