A 32-year-old man who was killed after he was trapped beneath a forklift at the Port of Los Angeles was identified Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s office identified the fatally injured worker as Bohdan Salmanov.
Firefighters were sent to Berth 270 on Terminal Island about 10:40 a.m. Monday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
“Upon arrival, firefighters found the trapped person to be deceased,” the LAFD said in a statement. “Urban Search and Rescue specialists will continue their response to assist with safely removing the heavy machinery from the site, to allow other agencies — CalOSHA, law enforcement and the medical examiner — to conduct their investigation.”
