Should not Listen to Adele at Work

22 yo earns his Psychology B.A. then takes a construction job driving a forklift. His girlfriend of two years recently broke off their engagement, caving to parental pressure. His crew boss insists on no earbuds on the job; the work is too dangerous to risk being distracted by music. Our budding psychologists fails to follow this instruction and pops in his AirPods whenever he jumps into the forklift cab. His goal is to listen to Adele’s “Send my Love (To your New Lover)” at high volume, memorizing it so that he can head over to his ex-girlfriend’s house and “serenade” her. Our budding psychologist thinks this will demonstrate that he is over her (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter). During a break, he rushes to dismount from the forklift, forgets to turn off the engine, and is lackadaisical about fully disengaging the gears. The force of his jump gives just enough momentum to the forklift and it starts up again driverless. Our Airpod wearing, Adele blasting, budding psychologist, does not hear the forklift behind him before it smacks him, crushing his head between the lift and a nearby garbage dumpster. He loses consciousness immediately and is rushed to the ED where a CT scan is performed. Longitudinal fractures of both petrous processes extending cranially as linear undisplaced fractures of the flat parts of his temporal bones are displayed in the image. Nevertheless, our budding psychologist regains consciousness two days after the trauma and physical examination reveals bilateral abducens (CN VI) nerve palsies and facial nerve (CN VII) palsies. The abducens nerve palsy is due to damage of which indicated nerve?
