## Narrative

On November 7, 2017, an employee was driving a lift truck up a loading ramp while another driver was about to come down the ramp. The other driver stopped and signaled the employee to come up the ramp. The injured employee was trying to pull the truck to the side of the ramp when the wheel came off the ramp. He tried to raise the clamp-up boom to move the lift truck forward, but it started to tip over. He then jumped off and fell to the ground. The fork truck came off the ramp and the cage struck him in the back. He suffered a fractured hip, back and lower extremity injuries, and internal bleeding.
