Worker killed dismantling Jacksonville crane
A construction worker was killed on Saturday at the Port of Jacksonville’s Talleyrand Marine Terminal when a construction crane being used to dismantle an old ship-to-shore container crane collapsed.
News reports say the construction crane toppled at around noon, and operator Anthony Roberts was killed.
Jacksonville Port Authority spokeswoman Nancy Rubin said Roberts did not work for the port, but for a company taking the retired port equipment, which had already been sold, apart.
The accident will be investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
