Worker Fractures Leg in Pallet Jack Accident

At approximately 3:45 p.m. on January 10, 2007, an employee operated a Crown pallet jack (walk-behind forklift) in a distribution center. The employee sustained a fractured right femur, when he reportedly got his leg pinned between the pallet jack and a metal storage rack. There were no witnesses to this incident, and the injured employee was not available for an interview. According to the facilities manager who inspected the pallet jack, he found it to be in good operational condition.
