Employee Fractures Ankle When Struck by Pallet Jack

At approximately 2:20 p.m. on September 29, 2008, Employee #1, a secondary forklift operator, was Crown ride-along pallet jack, Unit 224, PE 3000 Series, Model Number PE 3520-60, and Serial Number 6A173104, in a warehouse for freight shipping. While located in one of the isles, Employee #1 dismounted to position the pallet jack in order to pick up and move a pallet of goods from the bottom rack. He inadvertently rolled the throttle backward into reverse, causing the pallet jack to drive backwards, and crushed his right ankle against some stock. Employee #1 was taken to Long Beach Memorial Hospital, where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery to mend a fractured right ankle.
