TAMPA, Fla. — One person passed away during a construction accident at Tampa International Airport Wednesday morning.
According to a statement from TPA, airport police received reports about the incident around 7:41 a.m. Officials said the accident involved a construction equipment operator working onside as part of the Airside A shuttle guideway renovation project.
Some construction equipment reportedly fell off the shuttle track with the operator still inside. The operator later died from his injuries.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began an investigation into the incident alongside TPAPD and Tampa Police.
Blue Arrivals reopened to the public a little after 11:30 a.m. TPA added that there will be no impacts on flight operations.

After waiting over eight months for a refund from a medical clinic, an ABC Action News viewer reached out to consumer investigative reporter Susan El-Khoury for help.
