Narrative

The injured employee was walking in front of a vehicle. A service technician was removing a breathalyzer ignition interlock. Bare wires inadvertently crossed and started the vehicle. The vehicle was in gear when this happened, causing the vehicle to jump forward and pin the employee against the vehicle and some bulk oil storage tanks. The injured employee suffered crushing injuries to their pelvis and ribs.
