Description:On October 5, 2002, a 37-year-old female Hispanic farm laborer (the victim) died after falling approximately 20 feet from the elevated forks of a forklift to a concrete barn floor. The victim was labeling bins of sweet potatoes that had been stacked five bins high in a curing barn. The victim stood on the forklift forks and was raised to the bottom of the top bin by her husband, the forklift operator. The operator heard his wife scream, then heard her hit the barn floor. He found his wife breathing but unresponsive. He carried the victim to a pickup truck and drove her to a nearby fire station. EMTs at the fire station transported the victim to the local hospital. She was later transported to a regional medical center where she died.
