Investigation Summary
On June 25, 2013, Employee #1 was walking west to east in an aisle inside the production area. A coworker was operating a powered industrial truck (forklift) and driving the vehicle in a north to south direction along a separate aisle. At the intersection, it appears that Employee #1 and the coworker did not see each other; even though, there were no visual blockages, and they collided. From skid marks, the wheels of the forklift was 0.75 of the distance through the intersection. Employee #1's right foot was caught under the mast of the forklift. The mast also struck Employee #1, which caused him to fall and strike his head on the concrete ground of the aisle. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They arrived and transported him by ambulance to a hospital, where he was evaluated and then transferred to a medical center by air ambulance. At the medical center, Employee #1 succumbed to his injuries and later died.
