Narrative

An employee was driving a powered pallet jack out of the cold storage room. As he was pulling out, a second motorized pallet jack approached from his left and struck his equipment. He attempted to stop the other equipment using his foot. His left big toe was pinched between the mast areas of the two pallet jacks and had to be amputated at the hospital.
