Employee Falls from Truck and Hits Head on Trailer Tongue

On July 17, 2102, an employee was working as a truck driver for a trucking company in Oakdale, CA. He was making a delivery of pallets. As he was unstrapping the pallets, a strap got stuck on a nail on one of the pallets. The employee went up on the flatbed truck to try to dislodge the strap.
