UM’s Drake Johnson was struck by forklift

The driver of a forklift thought he had run over a starting block when, in fact, he had run over Michigan running back Drake Johnson at the indoor track building, according to a University of Michigan Police report.

The report, obtained Tuesday by The Detroit News through an open-records request, was filed as a State of Michigan Traffic Crash Report April 13, the day of the accident.

The report confirms speculation at the time of the accident that Johnson was struck by a forklift.

Johnson, who has endured two anterior cruciate ligament knee tears during his Michigan football career, also ran track this spring, told the U-M police officer he was "sitting on the track floor stretching ... when he was run over by the vehicle" in the indoor track building when the incident occurred that morning.

According to the police report, the driver of the forklift / utility vehicle, Matt Johnson, said he was “moving a large cabinet and was traveling with the cabinet about eye level. He stopped at the large garage door and a co-worker opened the door for him.”

Harblow's quotes about Johnson in the "article"

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, during a Big Ten conference call the following day,said it was a “miracle” Johnson was not injured more seriously.

“I can tell you this, it would have killed a lesser man, but he is blue twisted steel, very flexible and amazing,” Harbaugh said on the call. “But it’s one of those miraculous things and he is doing well.”

Harbaugh said at the time he thought Johnson’s recovery would be two to three weeks “at the most.”

“It’s a miracle right up there with Easter,” Harbaugh said. “Just thanking God he is all right, that’s my thoughts on it.”
