Two people working on a pumpkin patch Wednesday morning were run over by a forklift after its driver lost control, according to the county fire department.
The accident occurred around 11 a.m. along Fairview Road in a field just southeast of Highway 156, said Sammy Breazile, a firefighter with San Benito County’s contracted Calfire unit.
The forklift driver lost control and ran over the two workers, a man and woman, while moving forward.
Calfire described one victim’s injuries as moderate and the other person’s as major.
The two victims were airlifted to regional hospitals.
Look back for more.
