Narrative

A "Yard Horse" vehicle with a shipping container on board was moving in the yard and accidentally bumped into a rail car. An employee was standing on that railroad car, locking down containers. The "bump" caused the employee to fall off the railroad car, and he was caught in a pinch point between the railroad car and the shipping container on board the "Yard Horse." He suffered a crushing laceration to the back of his right leg.
