Confirmed: Michigan RB run over by forklift driver who is clueless

Maybe this guy shouldn't be operating a forklift...

Michigan running back Drake Johnson has had a very tumultuous offseason. He was rammed by a forklift at the indoor practice facility while trying to get a good stretch and coach Jim Harbaugh described it as "a miracle" that he wasn't injured any more than he was.

Well, the circumstances of how it actually happened have been a mysterious up until now. The accident took place on April 13 at Michigan's indoor track facility, and the incident report is somehow classified as a "traffic crash report." According to the narrative compiled by university police, the forklift driver

"drove into the building and felt a bump, stating he thought he ran over a starting block, when he saw Drake Johnson, a student-athlete, roll from under the forklift. And [the driver] realized he had ran over Drake Johnson who was sitting on the track floor stretching."

How the driver of the forklift didn't see Johnson in the building is beyond me and frankly, pretty embarrassing.
