Narrative

On October 21, 2022, an employee was loading freight into a truck after two shipments had already been loaded into the trailer. The employee adjusted the height of the deck bars with the palletized skid on top. The deck bar fell, causing the skid to fall and land on the employee and knock him to the ground. He sustained a nose fracture and was hospitalized.
