Investigation Summary
At 7:15 a.m. on December 18, 2019, an employee working as a sales driver for a grocery products wholesaler was preparing to unload a delivery. The employee was inside the vehicle walking backwards with a mechanical pallet jack. The employee tried to stop the movement of the jack by turning the wheels 90 degrees, but the pallet continued to move toward the employee. The employee jumped from the liftgate and fell onto the pavement on his face. The employee fractured his ribs and an elbow and was hospitalized.
