A wrecker truck and wheeled loader lift the fallen telehandler


Police reports say the man was trying to move a trailer with the telehandler, he got out of the lift to check something on the trailer when the trailer started to run away.

The man was running back to the forklift when it also started to move. It ran onto the side slope of a embankment and rolled over on top of the man killing him instantly.

A wrecker truck and a wheeled loader were called in to upright the stricken lift in an exercise that looked far from safe.
