Investigation Summary
At 1:15 p.m. on May 19, 2014, an independent contractor employee leased out his truck and trailer to a company for the purpose of transporting loads between customers. The contractor was discussing the cargo loading requirements with the shipper within 5 foot of his trailer when the contractor walked backwards while arguing about the tie down requests. He stepped into the path of a moving forklift. The contractor was struck by a board extending out form the rear of the load, and caught his right foot under the left rear tire of the forklift, which pulled him to the ground. The forklift ran over the contractor's right side, crushing his right foot and hip. The employee was killed in the accident.
