Abstract: At approximately 3:00 p.m. on March 17, 2009, Employee #1, a farm worker, was picking lemons and placing them into a large bin. A coworker was using a straddle fork truck, AG Automation, 500-153 straddle fork. The coworker was driving forward with 4 boxes in front of the truck while driving between the rows of lemon trees. The truck makes a beeping sound going both forward and back. The truck struck Employee #1's bag of lemons. He fell, landing on his bag of lemons. Employee #1 only heard the road noise from the highway and not the beeping of the truck. Employee #1 was hospitalized with fractured ribs, hemopneumothorax, and a liver laceration.
