Narrative

An employee was unloading drywall from a forklift. The weight of the drywall caused the forklift to tilt as the drywall was being moved off the forks. As soon as the drywall was fully removed from the forks, the truck tilted back in place and injured the employee, who suffered major swelling of the neck/spine and required hospitalization.
