Narrative

On October 2, 2020, a forklift operator was adjusting the shackle on the back end of the forklift connected to a train of kiln carts when a front-end loader pushed the kiln carts from the opposite end. The forklift operator was pinched between the forklift and the kiln carts and both legs were surgically amputated below the knee.
