Employees injured when forklift load falls

A suspended load on a forklift traveling forward struck an unsecured, balanced load on a flatbed trailer. Employee #1 was low on the trailer cutting tie wire and out of the forklift driver's sight.

Employee #2 grabbed the fallen load, lifted it off Employee #1, and strained his back. They both required hospitalization.
