Narrative

A forklift-loader operator was moving feed for cattle inside a pen when a cow charged the operator. The operator quickly spun the loader around to avoid the cow and struck an employee standing nearby, pinning him against a fence/gate inside the pen. The employee suffered internal injuries with cuts and lacerations.
