Narrative

An employee was stacking trusses for shipping. He pushed a truss toward a press and was standing between the truss and press when the back/bottom edge of the truss struck his legs, knocking him forward. He then fell back onto the truss, which allowed his right foot to become caught in the press rollers. His lower right leg and foot were crushed.
