Narrative

An employee was traveling down an aisle on a powered pallet jack and a co-worker (injured employee) was traveling closely behind on a reach truck. The employee on the pallet jack turned into an aisle and stopped. The co-worker on the reach truck also turned into the same aisle and struck the forks of the pallet jack, crushing their left foot and resulting in a fractured toe and an amputated toe.
