Abstract: At approximately 11:45 a.m. on October 7, 2010, Employee #1 started a forklift and was driving it from outside the parking lot to a shop bay. During that time, the back wheels of the forklift passed over a slope drop to a lower lot and caused the forklift to overturn. Employee #1 was pinned under the forklift. Employees at the site used jacks to raise the forklift off Employee #1. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) arrived and transported Employee #1 to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. Employee #1 sustained a ruptured spleen, crushed bowel/colon, and fractured back. He was hospitalized.
