The employee exited the van through the rear doors when a customer driving a rented vehicle entered the check in lane and pulled directly behind the parked van. The vehicle came to a stop and the employee began the check in process of the vehicle by accessing a hand held mobile electronic device. The employee was standing in front of the vehicle when it surged forward and struck him, pinning him between the front of the vehicle and rear of the parked vehicle.
