## Narrative

An employee placed a box in the driving cage of a forklift to move it from one side of the warehouse to the other. As the employee approached the back portion of the area, the box shifted and hit the controls, causing the forklift to move toward the warehouse wall. The employee lost their balance, caught themselves, and stepped down off the forklift. The forklift continued and struck the wall, pinning their left leg/ankle against the wall. The employee moved the forklift forward and then fell to the floor, sustaining injuries to their leg and foot.
