MONTREAL — A man in his 30s is dead and two people are badly injured after a workplace accident in Sorel-Tracy, northeast of Montreal.
Quebec provincial police say they believe a lift trolley fell on a metal structure that collapsed at a work site at around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
The man was declared dead on site and the two others were taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say Quebec’s workplace health and safety board is involved in the investigation.
This is the second fatal accident at a work site in Quebec in recent weeks.
The other occurred when the underground walls of a construction site north of Montreal collapsed on May 20, killing a worker and injuring two others.
