Narrative

An employee was driving a rough-terrain forklift to a site using an access road. The employee pulled over to the side of the road to let a haul truck pass by. The edge of the road gave way, and the telehandler slid sideways into a borrow pit, landing on its side. The employee's T11 and T12 vertebrae were fractured due to the impact.
