One dead, two hurt after workplace incident northeast of Montreal

MONTREAL — A man in his 30s is dead and two people are badly injured after a workplace incident in Sorel-Tracy, northeast of Montreal.

Quebec provincial police say they believe a lift trolley fell on a metal structure that collapsed at a worksite 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.
