The president of a Haverhill marina, where a man received “severe” facial injuries Saturday morning, said he and his staff are “all shocked and saddened by the accident.”
Randall Bennett, president of Kazmiera Marina, told WHAV a marina “employee was moving a trailered boat with a fork truck that has a trailer ball attached for that purpose, as he does 200 times a year. He had two other employees working as spotters to block any traffic and guide him.”
“The trailer broke loose and kept rolling. He brought the fork truck to the front of the boat and accidentally hit the boat with a mirror on the fork truck. The mirror then hit him in the face and broke his jaw. He asked another employee to call 911 and the fire department arrived within minutes,” Bennett added.
