Crimean received a year of correctional work for the death of a friend in the bucket forklift

The Djankoi district court found a 45-year-old local resident guilty of causing death by negligence. This was reported in the press service of the Prosecutor’s office of Crimea.

The tragedy occurred in September last year in a warehouse. A man with the help of a telescopic forklift and a bucket mounted on it raised his friend to a height of about three meters so that he could perform the work.

At one point, the victim fell out of the bucket and fell onto the concrete floor. The injuries were incompatible with life.

The court qualified the actions of the defendant under part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - causing death by negligence. The punishment is one year of correctional labor with the retention of 5% of earnings in the state income.

Recall that a similar case with the death of a worker while using a forklift was considered in Simferopol. In May 2023, the employee responsible for safety was driving a loader with a loaded rubble bucket and hit a road worker.

The victim died of his injuries. The court found the truck driver guilty and sentenced him to one year of suspended imprisonment with a similar probation period. The court decision at the time of publication has not yet entered into force.
