Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:58 p.m. on December 18, 1990, Employee #1 was driving a highlift industrial truck down the aisle between the presses in the press room. As he drove past the #J-4 press, the support bar for the two-hand palm button set-up system entered the overhead canopy of the highlift and caught behind the right rear brace of the canopy. The highlift continued to travel down the aisle, bending the support bar. Eventually the support bar came loose, swung around, and struck Employee #1 on the back of the head, fracturing his skull. He was taken to Marion General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
