Man dies after being pinned by truck at Sky Harbor loading dock

PHOENIX – A man died Wednesday morning after being pinned between a truck and a loading dock at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, authorities said.

The Phoenix Police Department said officers responded to the scene, a loading facility on the southern part of the airport property, around 6 a.m. after getting a call about an injured man.

They found 50-year-old Scott Morris trapped against a loading dock by a tractor trailer.
