The man who struck a colleague while operating a forklift will face prosecution. This update originates from the area SU IC RF in the Altai Territory.
The Trinity Interregional Investigation Department has finished the inquiry into a case concerned with a person whose carelessness in performing professional duties led to a death by negligence.
The 58-year-old driver, employed by a peasant farm in the Kosikhinsky district, stands charged with a crime related to this incident.
The tragedy unfolded on December 13, 2022, when the accused, while driving a front loader, failed to confirm that pedestrians were not in the path as he cleared snow around the premises. He began backing up and allowed the vehicle to strike another farm worker. The 61-year-old victim died at the scene from injuries not compatible with life.
The investigation compiled sufficient evidence and forwarded the criminal case to the court for adjudication.
The accused faces a potential prison term of up to three years.
The incident echoes a previously reported case in which a woman in Tver died under the wheels of an excavator after the driver was without the proper license to operate heavy machinery.
