Our condolences go out to Mr. Govindaraj’s friends, family and colleagues.
A 54-year-old supervisor died Dec. 4 after a giant metal hook dangling from a mobile crane hit him and ran over him while he was walking along a road inside Chennai Port. The mobile crane was on the move when the accident happened.
Govindaraj, a supervisor with the harbour civil department, was going to have lunch in his office when he was hit by the vehicle at 12.30 pm. The crane driver, Saravanan from Tiruvanmiyur, did not notice Govindaraj walking in front, when he hit a speed breaker, and knocked him down and run him over.
