The bereaved family of Trevor Jones, who was crushed by a reversing super-reach stacker at the John Fernandes wharf yesterday, is awaiting an official statement from the company about the incident. Meanwhile the Ministry of Labour says an investigation is underway.
Anastacia Jones, Trevor’s daughter, told Stabroek News that her father had left home on Monday morning for work. She said that Trevor would often work for prolonged hours and since his departure for work on Monday morning, he had not returned home.
Trevor’s wife, Diane Tappin, disclosed that the couple had shared a relationship for 28 years, and described Jones as helpful and loving. She recalled that on Monday, after he left for work, she cooked food but later realised that her husband was working overtime. Yesterday morning, after noticing that he hadn’t returned home for the meal, she was preparing to give him a call when she received the news of his death at about 7:50 am.
