Perth Amboy, New Jersey—A worker died this morning after being struck by a delivery truck at a local distribution facility. The incident occurred at the loading dock before the facility reached full capacity for the day. Local police responded to the site shortly after the accident was reported.

Paramedics arrived within minutes of the emergency call. They attempted life-saving measures but pronounced the individual dead at the scene. The facility’s loading zone remains cordoned off while police and investigators examine the area. Heavy trucks are currently backed up along the access road.

The truck driver involved stayed at the scene immediately following the collision. They are currently cooperating with officers who are collecting statements and reviewing surveillance footage. The company has temporarily halted all incoming and outgoing logistics shipments.

Warehouse personnel were sent home following the announcement. The site manager has not issued a formal statement regarding the specific cause of the accident. Safety inspectors are expected to arrive later today to conduct a site review. The facility is expected to remain closed for the foreseeable future.

OSHA representatives have been notified of the fatality. They will lead a separate inquiry into whether safety protocols were in place at the time of the event. This will involve inspecting site logs and driver training records. The investigation will focus on visibility and traffic control measures on the dock.

The victim’s identity has not been released. Family members are being reached by the local coroner’s office. This is the latest in a series of incidents at regional logistics hubs over the past few months. Union representatives have requested a meeting with management to discuss dock safety.

The scene remains an active police zone. Officers are marking skid marks and measuring distances between the trucks and the warehouse bays. Workers watching from the perimeter described the atmosphere as grim. No further details about the specific vehicle involved have been provided yet.

The investigation is ongoing. Officials are looking for any witnesses who were present during the morning shift. The facility will stay dark as inspectors continue to comb the concrete for evidence. Authorities expect to release a preliminary report by the end of the week.
