FL Woman Killed By Forklift Doing Storm Repairs: Reports

DAYTONA BEACH, FL — A woman staying at a Florida hotel died after she was run over by a forklift doing storm repairs, according to multiple reports citing authorities.

The 62-year-old woman, whom police did not identify, was hit Monday while walking through the parking lot of the Beach Haven Inn, Daytona Beach Shores public safety director Michael Fowler told The Associated Press.

The hotel is located on the Atlantic Ocean and sustained damage last fall when Hurricane Ian slammed into the state.

According to a report by WESH, the forklift driver was moving materials from a truck to the hotel when he struck the woman.

"The forklift driver with a load of materials did not see the pedestrian and ran over her," Fowler told WESH.

The victim was taken to Halifax Medical Center where she later died, WOFL reported.

The accident remains under investigation.
