Narrative

On March 23, 2017, an employee was using a forklift to unload skids in a trailer when a box fell from a pallet. The employee stopped the forklift and applied the emergency brakes. While he was bending over to pick up the box, the forklift rolled and the forks ran into his ankle, pinning him against the skid in the trailer. His left ankle was fractured.
