Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:45 p.m. on November 8, 2008, Employee #1, a forklift operator for a shipping company, was operating a Mitsubishi propane powered industrial tractor. During operation, he unintentionally tripped the lever controlling the hydraulic tilting mechanism with his foot. The tractor's mast rotated backwards against the support and trapped Employee #1 between the elevator mast and one of the overhead guard supports. Employee #1 was taken to Fresno Regional Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries and released. He died twelve days later due to severe acidosis from necrotic intestinal tract complications, which was caused by his intestinal tract leaking into his abdominal cavity.
