A man had to be rescued from his forklift truck by firefighters after the vehicle flipped, trapping him inside.
Crews from Cleckheaton were called to ATA Building Supplies, in Bradford Road, Cleckheaton, at 7.25am today, after the driver had flipped the enclosed forklift on to its side. Firefighter Mark Stuart said the man banged his head, knocking himself out for a couple of minutes.
After the crew had lifted him out of the vehicle they gave him oxygen before an ambulance took him to Dewsbury District Hospital for routine checks. Mr Stuart said the man suffered minor shock, but was comfortable and able to talk.
