At 3:37 p.m. on June 9, 2022, an employee was ready to set the last joist for the day and was reversing the rough-terrain forklift with the boom fully extended. The rear operator's side tire went into an approximately 16-inch-deep drop-off from grade, resulting in the forklift rolling over. The employee was pinned to the ground by the rollover protection system (ROPS). The employee incurred crushing injuries and died.
