GEORGIA - According to several news reports, including kiro7.com, a Home Depot employee was seriously injured at Home Depot in Roswell, Georgia.*

The employee was impaled by a crowbar. The workplace accident occurred at a retail outlet in Roswell, just north of Atlanta. According to the Roswell Police Department, a 54-year-old woman was standing on a forklift at the receiving area at around 8:15 PM when the incident transpired.

According to the accident report, the 54-year-old woman was tragically impaled by a crowbar that was sticking out of a cardboard compactor. When law enforcement and first responders arrived, they found the woman with a crowbar piercing her ribcage. She was stuck to the compactor that was behind her.
