Fuel Leak At Port of Palm Beach Leaves One Hospitalized

A container fuel leak leaves one person hospitalized Wednesday morning at the Port of Palm Beach, Florida.

Port workers were transporting fuel from one container to another, when one of the hoses in use came apart, causing a fuel leak.  Only one person was exposed to the fumes and was treated on the scene, but was still taken to a hospital for further examination, according to Riviera Beach spokesperson Rose Anne Brown. 

Riviera Beach Rescue unites and Hazard Materials crews were dispatched to the scene immediately, where the units contained the leak. 

Brown commented that no further action was required.
