Narrative

On November 21, 2024, an employee was operating a truck-mounted forklift, with stabilizers deployed, to move a stack of dimensional lumber onto a truck. With the load of lumber raised, the stabilizers retracted and the forklift lost ground contact. This caused the forklift to abruptly lunge forward and the employee struck the interior of the roll cage. The employee was hospitalized with multiple head lacerations that required eight stitches in the front of his head and two staples in the back of his head, facial fractures, three cracked vertebrae in his neck and upper back, and a shin laceration.
