Man Cut In Half By Forklift Shares Survival Story

Loren Schauers, a 19-year-old from Montana, faced a harrowing ordeal during a catastrophic accident involving a forklift. While working on a construction site for a bridge rehabilitation project in September 2019, Schauers was operating the industrial truck across a bridge when it veered off course, plunging 50 feet.

The fall left Schauers pinned beneath the heavy vehicle, resulting in severe injuries that required the amputation of the lower half of his body through a procedure called hemicorperectomy. Remarkably, Schauers remained conscious throughout the entire ordeal, witnessing the forklift crushing his body.

Faced with a life-or-death decision, Schauers opted for the drastic surgical procedure, showcasing extraordinary resilience and determination to survive. His girlfriend, Sabia Reiche, and immediate family provided unwavering support during this challenging time, influencing his decision to fight for his life.

The aftermath of the accident brought Schauers and Reiche closer, solidifying their bond amidst adversity. Despite initial grim prognoses, Reiche stood by Schauers, embodying true companionship and love. Her steadfast support proved pivotal in his recovery, leading to the couple’s engagement amid these extraordinary circumstances.

Schauers embarked on a journey of rehabilitation, undergoing physiotherapy and adjusting to a new life without the lower half of his body. Despite the immense challenges he faced, Schauers’ determination to overcome adversity and the unwavering support of his loved ones propelled him forward on his path to recovery.
