Abstract: At 1:15 a.m. on July 27, 2024, an employee working as a construction laborer for a mechanical contractor was driving a Unicarrier Forklift (PIV) along the east side of a department store. The employee drove around a shelter at the northeast corner of the store. The employee was driving the PIV onto a slope when the front right tire left the edge of the compacted earth and sunk into the adjacent softer soil. The PIV tipped over and the cage came to a rest on top of the employee. The employee sustained a subtotal amputation of his left arm, a fractured humerus, multiple pelvic fractures, bilateral conjunctival and scleral hemorrhage and vascular congestion of the chest, neck, and face. The employee died from traumatic compression and blunt force injury.
