Yet another tragedy at work today in Sicily where a young worker, Angelo Giardina died at just 21 years old run over and crushed by a forklift while working in a company in the northern outskirts of Canicattì, in the free municipal consortium of Agrigento. The fatal accident occurred on the morning of Friday 28 June in the external square of a construction company in Canicattì that produces concrete products.
For reasons yet to be clarified, the young worker was run over and crushed by a forklift used to move heavy loads in the company. According to a very initial reconstruction of the facts, the victim was working near the vehicle when, for reasons still being ascertained, it overturned and overwhelmed him without giving him any chance. The subsequent medical assistance of 118, who arrived on the scene shortly after being alerted by the 21-year-old’s colleagues, was in vain.
The firefighters also intervened on site, who extracted the young man from the vehicle and made the area safe, and the Cannicattì carabinieri who immediately started investigations to establish the facts. A very first hypothesis It is possible that the load the boy was carrying tilted, unbalancing the vehicle, but a risky maneuver cannot be ruled out.
