A truck driver has died after an incident Wednesday at the Port of Montreal.
“I can confirm that there has been an accident in one of the terminals,” said Montreal Port Authority communications director Rene Laroche.
In a message to its members, the Syndicat des débardeurs du port de Montréal SCFP Local 375 confirmed that two truck drivers were involved in the incident at the Cast terminal.
“The death of one truck driver has been confirmed,” the message said. “We want to express our sympathy to their family and friends.”
This comes almost a month after a truck driver was killed at the port’s Viau terminal.
LeRoche notes that there are currently “teams on the spot”, and an investigation is planned to shed light on the events that led to the incident.
