Investigation Summary
On March 9, 2004, Employee #1 was helping a fork lift operator adjust the forks to unload a tank from a flatbed truck. The operator stopped the forklift, but left it in gear. When the operator realized the lift was still moving, he jumped back onto it. He inadvertently hit the accelerator, causing the fork lift to lunge, crushing Employee #1 between the front of the lift and a truck, and killing him.
