Narrative

An employee was moving a standup forklift backward toward the glue machine when the forklift contacted the cabinet. The machine then tipped backward, causing the bottom feet on the backside to collapse. The cabinet fell forward onto the forklift where the employee was standing. His right ankle was trapped between the cabinet and the forklift. He sustained a crushing injury to the ankle.
