Final narrative
A driver backed a truck up to a loading dock door and then went into the building to unload the truck. When he mistakenly opened the doors to a truck in an adjacent bay, that truck started to pull away. The driver then jumped from the dock and landed on the ground below. He sustained a fracture to the left leg below the knee that required hospitalization and surgery.
