Narrative

An employee parked and dismounted her tugger to connect a line of empty carts to the vehicle. Another tugger entered the area towing seven full carts. As the tugger began turning right, the last cart struck the final cart of the line the employee was connecting. Upon being struck, the line of empty carts pushed forward and the first cart in the line struck the employee's left leg, resulting in a tibial plateau fracture.
