FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — An employee at Port Everglades is dead following an accident with a tractor-trailer.

The employee was declared dead at the scene.

CBS4 in Miami reports the employee worked at Sun Terminal, which is a shipping company in the middle of the sprawling Port Everglades complex.

Deputies say the truck is owned by Martainer Inc. in Miami.
