Investigation Summary
At 10:25 a.m. on August 7, 2021, an employee was operating a Crown PE4500-60 walkie rider double pallet jack. After setting a pallet into the staging lane, she began to exit and inadvertently turned the handlebar and throttle the wrong way. This caused the pallet jack to strike a yellow bollard fence rail between Dock 113 and Dock 114. The impact resulted in a Type I or II open displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of her right tibia. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
