Narrative

An employee was attempting to hook the tongue of a baggage cart to the hook on a tug vehicle when the tug driver's foot slipped off the brake pedal and onto the gas pedal. The tug was in reverse and moved backwards, hitting the employee and pinning him between the vehicle and the baggage cart. He suffered a severe fracture to his left leg that required hospitalization.
