Narrative

An employee was unloading a newspaper delivery truck. As he backed out of the truck onto a dock, with the papers on a pallet carried by an electric pallet jack, the truck rolled away from the dock and he fell to the ground. The pallet jack and the pallet with papers fell onto him. He suffered a broken left tibia and a left ankle injury.
