Narrative

An employee was standing at the rear of their vehicle, sorting mail to be delivered. An approaching truck struck a nearby car, causing the car to veer and strike the employee's vehicle and right leg. The force of the impact caused the vehicle to be pushed up on the sidewalk. When it rolled back towards the street, it ended up on top of the employee. The employee was hospitalized with a right leg injury and possible left leg injury.
