Abstract: At 7:56 p.m. on May 20, 2020, employees were operating industrial trucks to select a product. As Employee #1 was driving out of his aisle, forks trailing, he saw another driver approaching directly toward him, forks first, without any signs of slowing down. Employee #1 yelled and screamed to the other driver to get his attention and get him to slow down or steer away. When the other driver realized, it was too late. The other driver struck Employee #1 on his lower leg. The employee was hospitalized to treat multiple fractures on the right leg.
