Narrative

A FedEx employee backed a delivery truck into a driveway. Upon exiting the vehicle, she walked to the rear doors to retrieve a package. As she turned to walk around a car that was behind her, the car proceeded to unexpectedly back up, striking the truck first, then pinching and crushing her legs between the bumpers of the truck and car. She suffered multiple fractures to her right leg below the knee.
