Final narrative
The injured employee was working in a warehouse and was using a motorized double jack. A nearby powered industrial truck (PIT) was lifting a pallet of boxes that contained frozen meat and weighed 60 pounds each. The PIT struck a cross-member of a storage rack. The load then shifted and the PIT overturned. The boxes fell off the pallet and struck the injured employee breaking his right tibia.
