He finished the conversation and was walking across the lot to a vehicle holding area when a forklift carrying a full size pick-up truck came from behind. The forklift load struck Employee #1's back and the lift continued moving until the operator felt a bump under the rear tires and saw that he had run his coworker. Employee #1 was transported to Emanual Hospital in Portland, OR, where he underwent surgery for fractures to his right arm and left leg.
