A forklift operator was taken to the hospital after a construction accident in Boston’s Seaport neighbourhood, according to a report by NBC Boston.

It was reported that the man was thrown from the machine after the forklift, which was carrying a load of construction supplies, tilted forward. 

The Boston Fire Department stabilised the vehicle at Sleeper Street and Seaport Boulevard.

The severity of the operator’s injuries remains unknown, but OSHA has been called in to investigate, according to reports.
