Narrative

An employee was driving a tugger, connected to a full tread cart, down an aisle. The front right corner of the cart contacted the blunt end of a guardrail. The tugger turned sharply and stopped, causing the employee to fall off and strike his face on the guardrail. He suffered fractures to the cheek and around the eye.
