Florida hotel guest run over by forklift and killed during storm repairs

A guest at an oceanfront hotel in Florida has died after being run over by a forklift that was working on storm repairs, authorities said.

The 62-year-old woman, whose name wasn't immediately released, was struck Monday while walking through the parking lot of the Beach Haven Inn, said Michael Fowler, the Daytona Beach Shores public safety director.

The hotel is located next to the Atlantic Ocean and sustained damage during Tropical Storm Ian, which hit the area in September.
