Incident Narrative
On March 17, 2023, an employee was driving a truck that was hauling a bomb cart containing a 20-foot tank to be loaded onto a cargo ship.

The cart and the truck dropped back to the ground and the employee's head hit a metal part of the cab . The employee sustained a laceration to the back of the head and a fracture to the pelvis that required hospitalization.
