That's not something you hear every day and, thankfully, Johnson was not seriously injured.

At the time, details were difficult to come by, but the Detroit Free Press obtained the traffic report via a public records request.

The driver, Matt Johnson (no relation), was moving a large cabinet at the university's indoor track building on April 13. The garage door was opened for him to enter and when he drove in, this is what happened according to the report:

Johnson "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.
