Narrative

An employee was helping unload a delivery truck while an all-terrain forklift was being used to remove a stuck side gate from the truck. The forklift began to raise the gate, which was caught on a pallet. The gate came loose from the pallet and struck the employee under the chin resulting in a broken jaw.
