A forklift operator on the Gold Coast was taken to hospital with minor burns to his leg after the forklift he was driving caught fire.

Gold Coast Bulletin News reports that firefighters and paramedics were called to the Bundall Road business last week and treated the man for superficial burns to his right leg.

It is not yet known what caused the forklift to ignite. A witness from a nearby business said the flames were about 10 ft. (3 m) high.
