News reaching Blueoceana Company today, relates that a pedestrian worker was struck and killed by a truck (lorry) at the Brocklebank Dock facility, Bootle (Liverpool), U.K. last Wednesday evening (15 May).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merseyside Police responding to the scene of the accident arrested the lorry’s operator, who was charged with suspicion of death by careless and drug driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the involvement of the U.K.’s Health and Safety Executive in this incident’s investigation, we must assume that the matter occurred within a workplace; not on a pubic thoroughfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: 24 May 2019; 11:00 AM EST –<\/strong> In communication with two separate sources at Liverpool port, we’ve received unconfirmed reports that the vehicle involved was a tug (yard tractor), that it was being operated by a marine terminal worker (who was, consistent with the information above, arrested) and that the fatally injured worker was in fact part of the ship’s complement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re continuing to research this incident, and hope to have more conclusive information going forward. When (and if) received, such information will be provided here; as an UPDATE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
