Final narrative
An employee was exiting their stand up forklift. As they stepped down from the vehicle, the control handle was engaged, causing the lift to move forward. The employee's left foot was then pinned between the angle iron that protects the battery stand and the forklift. They were hospitalized for multiple fractures and lacerations to the left foot and lower leg that required surgery.
