Narrative

On February 12, 2016, at approximately 8:30 a.m., an employee and coworker were making a delivery with a freightliner step van. The employee got out of the van and walked to the back of the vehicle to open the van doors. The driver began backing towards the dock and the employee was pinned between the van and the dock, resulting in fractured ribs and a bruised torso.
