Narrative

An employee was traveling down an aisleway in a three-wheeled golf cart. They were moving around a parked forklift when a material cart came from the opposite direction. A wheel on the material cart caught a piece of racking causing the material cart to swing out and hit the injured employee's golf cart. The material cart continued to swing, hitting the injured employee's left leg. The injured employee was also knocked out of the golf cart and landed on the ground 2-3 feet away. The injured employee sustained fractures to the left leg, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
