Woman Dies From Injuries Sustained When She Was Hit By Forklift

Sharon Welling, an employee at Isabella County Recycling Center, was hit by a forklift Monday while she was at work.  A 52-year-old man from Alma was driving the forklift at the time of the accident.  He was transporting a large recycling bin when he hit her.  Welling sustained serious injuries to her leg and pelvis and was airlifted to Hurley Medical Center in Flint.  Unfortunately, Ms. Welling died yesterday morning from her injuries.
