Narrative

An employee used a golf cart to take a catering order out to an airplane crew. He then drove around the aircraft to speak with a line service technician about completing a jet fuel order. The injured employee then reboarded the golf cart and proceeded forward. The golf cart struck a parked aircraft near the wingtip. The employee sustained broken teeth and a full-thickness facial laceration from the lower lip down to the bottom of their chin. This incident occurred in snowy conditions.
