Construction worker found dead, pinned by forklift at Lehi worksite

LEHI, Utah ( ABC4 ) — A construction worker was found dead on Thursday morning, Oct. 16, at a worksite near 3200 North and 1200 West in Lehi.

Lehi City officials said the man was found by his wife, who had gone searching for the man when she woke up in the morning and learned he never returned home from work. The man was found just before 11:30 a.m. pinned against a forklift boom truck at his worksite.

The Lehi Fire Department said it appeared the man, who has not been publicly identified, passed away overnight.

It is currently unclear how exactly the man became trapped by the forklift, according to investigators. Crews are currently working to safely extract the man’s body from the worksite.

This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as new information becomes available.
