Narrative

An employee had just unhooked and secured the hitch pin of a transporter. As the transporter pulled away, the pin slid down, causing the hitch to reattach to the transporter. The employee's foot was trapped between the moving transporter and a metal bollard, causing a broken right heel, an 8-inch laceration to the top of the right foot, and smaller lacerations to the inner ankle.
