OGALLALA, Neb. (AP) _ A 27-year-old man has been killed while helping load farm equipment onto a truck at his grandfather's farmstead in Ogallala. Keith County Attorney Blake Edwards said Monday that Jarred Robinson was hit in the head by a forklift. Edwards says Robinson was helping balance a load on the forklift.
The load shifted, and one of the tines on the forklift popped free, striking Robinson. Robinson was taken to Ogallala Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Edwards says an investigation is continuing, but no charges are expected in the accident. Robinson had been living on the farmstead owned by his grandfather, who had recently died.
