News accounts coming to Blueoceana Company indicate that a middle aged (media coverage is imprecise) over the road truck driver was fatally injured at the sprawling New Mangalore Port Trust <\/strong>facility on India’s Southwestern coast Wednesday night (06 November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what we’re made to understand, Vinod Poojary<\/strong>, an employee of Delta Infra Logistics<\/strong>, was both receiving and delivering loaded intermodal containers from and to the facility when one such container shifted during a turn, came away from his trailer’s frame and continued forward, crushing Mr. Poojary who was occupying the tractor operator’s seat at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographs that accompany the news articles available to us appear to depict the trailer as being a flat bed. Available means for appropriate container securing, however, are presently unknown to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
