Employee's leg crushed by fork of forklift

A forklift driver for Tomco Auto Products of Vernon, CA, was driving an electric standup forklift in the parking lot of a warehouse and got it stuck in a soft patch of asphalt. He called Employee #1, another forklift driver for Tomco, to help him. Employee #1 was driving a large gasoline powered forklift. When he got there the driver switched with him, since he was more experienced, and Employee #1 got on the electric. The forklift driver pushed the electric forklift with one of the gas machine's forks. The fork dislodged and came up, and the gas forklift lunged forward. The fork went into the driver's station of the standup electric forklift, crushing Employee #1's leg.
