From Action News Jax:

The family of a man who fell to his death from a crane is pressing his employer for answers about what led to the accident.

Fernandina Beach Police Department told Action News Jax Timothy Dubberly, 58, was making repairs to the crane when the cab separated and fell 100 feet to the ground.

Dubberly’s family believes safety concerns went unresolved at the Port of Fernandina. Dubberly worked at Kinder Morgan Nassau Terminal at Fernandina Beach for 25 years as an electrical engineer.

We’ve been investigating his employer, Kinder Morgan’s Nassau terminal at Fernandina Beach, for days. According to the OSHA website, in 2011 the company was cited for a safety violation involving a forklift.
