Narrative

On August 19, 2021, an employee was driving a reach truck in a warehouse area. As he went around a corner, the truck ran into another, parked truck with an empty pallet on its forks. The forks of the moving truck shattered the pallet. When the pallet broke apart, it struck the employee's legs causing a laceration on the left leg and a fracture to the right leg that required hospitalization and surgery.
