Narrative

Electricians were changing a fuse on the pressure washer. The electrician was at the back of the truck when the wash bay tech got out of the forklift to talk to the electrician. The wash bay tech failed to set the parking brake or to put the bucket down. The forklift freewheeled, pinning the EE between the forklift and the truck.
