A Forklift Operator was driving forwards with a full palletized load on his way from a receiving dock to a storage area. The dock was full and congested making it difficult for him to drive in reverse with a better view of his path of travel. He was travelling in a westerly direction. As he was passing by several storage racks, another forklift operator driving in reverse with a full load on the way to the shipping dock exited the racking system and was struck by the first forklift side$-$on$.$ The second forklift was turning westerly so the operator of forklift #$2$ was not looking at the first forklift on his blind$-$side. The second forklift operator was badly shaken up as he took the brunt of the collision. There was extensive damage to the forklifts and the material being transported.
