PULLMAN, WA – One man was injured on the Washington State University campus this morning when the extended forklift he was driving rolled over.

 

The crew was working on the new Northside Residence Hall project that is anticipated to open in the fall of 2013. When complete, WSU's new Northside Residence Hall will house about 300 students.

 

The driver was taken to Pullman Regional Hospital where he is reported to be in good condition.

 

The biggest challenge was determining how to upright the vehicle. Crews from Graham construction used a large excavator to lift the equipment back up.
