Narrative

An employee was moving an auto-scrubber into a storage room, holding the door open with one hand. The employee was pinned between the door frame and the auto-scrubber, which ran over her left foot, causing her to let go of the machine and fall. The machine then stopped on her foot as she was falling. She suffered a broken left ankle and was hospitalized.
