It happened around 9:30 o'clock at the Summit Logistics warehouse on 11th Avenue near 18th Street.
Scott McCloy with WorkSafeBC says two forklift operators were lifting a piece of equipment when something went wrong. "In the process of lifting that piece of equipment, [it] shifted. It forced one of the forklifts to spin around and topple over, and in the process of toppling over, one of the forklift operators was crushed."
