Yard Tractor Operator Dies in Vehicular Accident [San Juan, Puerto Rico – 28 March 2023]

Information coming to Blueoceana Company this morning reveals that a yard tractor (in the local colloquialism: a “brute”) operator was killed last night (between 9:00/10:00 PM) at the Pier E terminal, Puerto Nuevo, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Our present understanding is that Sr. Gabriel Rosa, 32, a member of ILA Local Union 1740, was operating a yard tractor with a laden bombcart trailing, when he collided with a bombcart trailing behind another yard tractor within one of the Puerto Nuevo terminal’s main traffic lanes.

Confirmed reports allege that Sr. Rosa was propelled through his yard tractor’s windshield and suffered severe traumatic injuries.

The information appearing above is preliminary. We are certain to receive updates as the day progresses. Any such updates will be posted here.
