On June 6, 2018, around 9:00 a.m. an employee parked and engaged the breaks of a loaded forklift on a slight incline and got off the forklift to verify space availability in the cargo van that was being loaded. The forklift rolled forward crushing his legs between the bumper of the cargo van and the material on the forklift causing fractures to both legs. The employee was hospitalized.
