On January 11, 2007, Employee #1 was working on the dock of a marine terminal alongside two Hyster powered industrial trucks (forklifts), Model Number 155, Unit Numbers LT 1505 and 1503. The forklifts were removing rebars at tandem from the dock of a marine terminal, while unloading a cargo vessel. As Employe #1 was drinking water from a cooler that was placed on top of a collision barrier on the dock, one of the two forklifts, which were traveling backwards, struck Employee #1. His leg was pinned between the rear counterweights of the forklift and the concrete collision barrier. Employee #1 died.
