Scenario:

Ali is working as a forklift truck Operator in ALBA Warehouse. He was driving in a hurry to transfer the goods just arrived from the Port and leave early. Ali overloaded the forklift truck with boxes to complete his work quickly, so he was not able to watch his way. Then, he decided to drive backward (reverse) to reach the storage area. While Ali was reversing the forklift, the forklift overturned and crushed Hasan (cleaner) who was cleaning the pedestrian route. Hasan sustained injuries to his back and right leg.
