On August 11 last year, Brian Berg claims he was hit and seriously injured by a porta-potty that was being hauled by a forklift driver while he played at the Elk Grove Village, Ill., golf course. Berg is suing the Elk Grove Park District, which owns and operates the golf course, and the employee who was driving the forklift.

A golfer claims he was hit and seriously injured by a porta-potty that was being hauled by a forklift driver while he played at Fox Run Golf Links in Elk Grove Village, Ill., last summer, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Brian Berg was watching his 6-iron shot from the fairway to the front of the seventh hole green when his round took a turn for the worse on August 11, according to a lawsuit he filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court, the Sun-Times reported.

A course employee had taken the forklift off the golf cart path and was driving “blind” as a portable toilet “completely obscured his view,” and hit Berg from behind, the Sun-Times reported.

After he was knocked to the ground by the porta-potty’s “initial blow,” it did not stop, hitting him in the face and knocking him unconscious, the suit said. It injured his shoulder, cut his chin, cracked a rib, bruised a bicep and caused “a large, deep bruise to his leg,” the Sun-Times reported.

Berg is suing the Elk Grove Park District, which owns and operates Fox Run, and the employee who was driving the forklift. Officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday evening.

The worker was driving “with complete and utter indifference to the probability that a golfer would be in the path of a porta-potty,” according to the negligence suit, which claims the course “uses unsafe means and methods of transporting toilets.”

Berg is seeking more than $50,000 in damages, the Sun-Times reported.
