Our thoughts and prayers are with the woman who died in one accident and with the longshore worker who is recovering after a second accident at the port on the same day.
A cargo company supervisor driving a golf cart died Monday at Port Everglades when the cart and a truck collided — one of two accidents at the port that day, an official said.
Earlier Monday, a longshoreman was hurt when his truck fell on its side.
The longshoreman, a member of Local 1526 who works for Florida International Terminal, was in a yard mule truck during the crash, Kennedy said. The yard mule was carrying a fully loaded container that held granite and iron bars, according to preliminary reports. The container had been unloaded from the Elisabeth-S, a Hamburg-Sud ship that docked at the port at 6 a.m. Monday.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue took the injured man to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was treated for minor injuries and released, Kennedy said.
