The employee was transported to Whittier Presbyterian Hospital, where he was hospitalized for 25 days. The Yellow Freight facility is a distribution warehouse, which receives, stores, and ships material. Employee #1 was performing his duties as an operations manager by walking down the loading dock and observing operations when the accident occurred.
