Narrative

On February 26, 2017, an employee was driving a forklift and was turning around in a small area. There was another forklift that was non-operable in the same area. The employee backed up the forklift and struck the forks of the non-operable forklift. The forks penetrated the employee's right heel and tore tissue from the bone.
