Investigation Nr: 201093267

Event: 06/28/1999

Employee killed when straddle lift roll-over occurred

On June 28, 1999, Employee #1 was fatally injured in a straddle fork lift roll-over. Employee #1 was transporting four bins of lemons, weighing approximately 1,000 pounds per bin, on a grade. Apparently, this overloaded the braking system of the straddle fork lift and Employee #1 lost control of the equipment. Employee #1 traveled approximately 0.1-mile to the bottom of the grade before leaving the road, crashing through a corral fence and into a ravine, killing Employee #1.
