Joseph Via Killed in a Forklift Accident at a Packaging Plant on Grumbacher Road in York, Pennsylvania


York, Pennsylvania — One person died in a forklift accident at CP Flexible Packaging, located on Grumbacher Road. A parked tractor-trailer was also involved in the incident.

Thoughts on Forklift Accidents

People are injured when basic safety rules are not followed. Being crushed by a forklift accounts for 42% of forklift deaths each year(OSHA). However, according to OSHA, 70 percent of forklift accidents are avoidable. Many questions need to be investigated here to ensure the family receives the answers they deserve. If other parties share in fault for this death, they need to be held accountable.
