Queens boy killed driving forklift
Yesterday afternoon a 13-year-old boy went for a short joy ride on a forklift and flipped it over, crushing himself to death.
The boy, Kevin Hrcka, of Maspeth, Queens, had gone to Miron Building Supplies at 10-45 Irving Ave. in Bushwick, Brooklyn, to meet his father, Rob Hrcka. While his father went inside to change clothes, the boy climbed atop a parked forklift - with keys left in the ignition - and began driving.
Commentary: Apparently, the area where the forklift was parked is off-limits to children and non-employees. Still, it’s hard to understand why the keys were left in it.
