Narrative

On April 8, 2022, an employee was trying to stabilize freight (individually boxed glass panels) that was lined up from sidewall to sidewall inside a trailer. The freight started to lean and the employee tried to catch it. The employee lost his balance due to the weight (660 lbs.) of the freight and hit his head on the side of the trailer, sustaining compression of the cervical spine and fractured vertebrae that required surgery.
