Investigation Summary
On September 5, 2013, Employee #1, a 27-year-old male hay squeeze operator with Richie Iest Farms, Inc., was driving a Hyster forklift down a canal road, heading to another hay field to retrieve a block of hay. Employee #1 was driving close to the edge when the tractor hit a slight bump, causing the front steer tire to veer over and catch the inside of the canal. Employee #1 attempted to correct the tires direction but was unsuccessful. The forklift rolled over the edge and into the canal. Employee #1's ankle was caught under the forklift, so they called their boss to come help. Employee #1 sustained a crushed right ankle and torn tendon/ligaments in the left leg. Employee #1 was hospitalized and underwent several surgeries, as a result of this roll-over event.
