Narrative

An employee was scanning the placards of pallets of mail bundles when a forklift approached from the opposite side and began lowering and pushing his pallet load forward. It struck the pallet the employee was working on, causing it to shift and strike her. She fell to the ground and sustained a left hip fracture that required surgery.
