Narrative

An employee was operating a pallet jack to select dry product in an aisle around 5:30 p.m. along with several other pallet jack operators. He was walking between his pallet jack and a coworker's parked pallet jack when his pallet jack rolled forward and caught his right leg between the two pieces of equipment, fracturing his lower leg/ankle.
