Firefighters report a forklift driver was killed in an accident (March 13, 2011) at the Royal Food Products warehouse at 2322 E. Minnesota Street in Indianapolis, according to a newsreport in The Herald Bulletin of Indianapolis.
According to WISH TV 8 the deceased man was still inside the warehouse, trapped under debris and rubble.
Preliminary information from inside the warehouse suggests the man was driving the forklift on a portion of the floor that was not reinforced for forklift use when the vehicle fell through the floor.
Workers at Royal Food Products tell 24-Hour News 8 that there are defined pathways on which forklifts usually travel. For an unknown reason, the forklift was not on one of the paths when the floor collapsed, firefighters said.
Police have not yet released the victim's identity saying only he was in his 50’s.
