WHITE ARRIVES, CREWMAN HAS ACCIDENT ON BOARD

H. LEE WHITE arrived in Erie this afternoon at 1400, docking at the Mountfort Terminal to unload stone from Calcite.

Around 1900 this evening emergency technicians were called to the vessel for reports of a crewmember who got his arm caught in a conveyor. EMS found it necessary to cut the man out of the conveyor. The crewman was transported to Hamot Medical Center, where he is in fair condition at this time.

Repairs are underway to the WHITE and it is unknown when the vessel will finish unloading and depart.

Photos of the CALUMET's departure and WHITE's arrival will come tomorrow afternoon.
