A 27-year-old woman died after sustaining injuries possibly caused by a forklift at an H-E-B warehouse, according to San Antonio police.
Officers said they were dispatched to the warehouse early Friday morning.
The woman was operating her forklift when she came to a stop, a company spokesperson said. Another employee noticed she was showing signs of distress and called EMS.
She was taken to a hospital, police said, where she was later pronounced dead.
At this time, SAPD said the injuries she sustained are unclear and not yet confirmed.
H-E-B confirmed to KSAT that one of its warehouse partners was taken to a hospital after “showing signs of distress” and later died at the hospital.
The company is working with officials as they investigate.
“Our H-E-B Family is heartbroken, and we are providing support to and are in contact with the family during this difficult time. We are also staying close to our Partners,” the company said, in part.
Additional information was not immediately available.
The investigation is ongoing.
