City Trucker Dead in Marine Terminal Vehicular Incident [Montreal, Quebec, Canada – 22 May 2024]

Posted by admin on May 23, 2024 in Bulletins

From friends at Montreal port, Blueoceana Company has been made to understand that yet another over-the-road port trucker has been killed in a vehicular struck-by accident that apparently has involved a second over-the-road trucker at or near the gate complex of a river-front marine terminal.

While no substantial amount of information setting out the particulars of this accident has been made available at this early stage, we are informed that it took place late yesterday at the Montreal Gateway Terminals [CAST] facility.

The baseline fact described to us, is that one trucker [as a pedestrian] was struck by another trucker [operating a tractor unit] resulting in the pedestrian’s death. In the fullness of time, we hope to have more information available. Updates will appear at this page if and when they become available.

It should be noted that this is the second over-the-road trucker fatal accident occurring at Montreal port marine terminals within the space of a month’s time. Longshore workers at Montreal have sponsored financial benefit efforts aimed at relieving the first victim’s survivors, it’s likely that similar efforts will follow in the wake of this event and that a more enlightened approach to pedestrian safety at Montreal port marine terminals will be arrived at by the relevant parties.
