Investigation Summary
At approximately 8.30 a.m. on December 6, 1999, Employee #1, of the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, was driving a Hyster forklift without a load inside a landfill in Whittier, CA. He was heading down a grade leading to canyon #9 when the forklift picked up speed. Employee #1 tried to slow down but was unable to because the brakes were bad. He jumped off the forklift, fracturing his right ankle. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for nine days before being released to recuperate at home. There were no witnesses to the accident.
