Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on April 3, 2015, Employee #1 was operating a Crown Stand-up Narrow-Reach Isle forklift.

As the forklift backed away, it made a sudden contact with the racking system, causing the collapse of several cardboard boxes. Employee #1 was struck in the head by the falling cardboard boxes and suffered a hinged fracture to the base of his skull. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he died.
