Employee "severely" hurt in forklift accident

A man has been seriously hurt while working at Flotech Inc on the Northside.

JSO says an employee was working on a forklift when “another part of the forklift came down”. Both of the man’s arms were “severely injured”, according to JSO, but they couldn’t say if that could potentially result in him losing his arms.

Police have notified OSHA about what they’re calling an industrial accident at this point. OSHA will determine whether there was any negligence that contributed to this incident and if it could have been prevented.
