Narrative

An employee was driving a reach machine from the cooler dock to the dry dock carrying approximately 14 pallets. As he was driving towards the fast roll-up door between the cooler dock and the dry dock, he turned his reach machine to the left. The reach machine then headed toward a yellow bollard that protects the fast roll-up door. Worrying he was going to strike the yellow bollard, he attempted to stop the collision using his foot. His left foot was then caught and severely crushed between the yellow bollard and the reach machine.
