EMTs and local police attempted to free him with the aid of jacks and employees from a nearby automotive shop. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene. The weather conditions at the time of the accident were clear and hot. The employer had informed all the employees that only the foreman was allowed to operate the forklift.
