Final narrative
An employee was operating a tugger to pull racks to the warehouse while a coworker on a forklift was stacking finished product in the warehouse. The coworker sounded his horn upon backing up and attempted to take a right turn around a stack of knockdowns. The employee was heading into the warehouse area at the same time and came around the stack of knockdowns. The coworker's forks hit the front left side of the employee's tugger. The left fork hit the front left side, spinning the back of the tugger towards the lift and allowing the right fork to strike the top of the employee's foot. The employee suffered a fractured left foot.
