An employee parked his semi-tractor under a trailer at dock door #9. He exited the truck and entered the cooler building to confirm that the trailer door was closed and ready for him to drive away with a full load. He opened dock door #10 and saw the truck staged there begin to pull away from the dock. He thought this was his truck rolling away unattended, so he ran outside, caught up with the truck, and attempted to grab the door handle just as the truck turned right. He fell to the ground and was run over by the truck. The employee sustained severe injury to his left leg, with multiple broken bones, and muscle and tissue damage. He also suffered a break to his right arm, and an amputation to his left leg.
