Alberta Occupational Health and Safety officials are investigating the deaths of two workers Monday in separate workplace accidents, one south of Grande Prairie and the other in Leduc.
One of the workers was killed Monday afternoon at a worksite in Leduc, OHS spokesperson Trent Bancarz told CBC News on Tuesday.
The worker’s death involved a fall, Bancarz said. No additional details have been provided by OHS officials.
Around 9 a.m. Monday, a 37-year-old man died after being struck by a vehicle at a business on a rural property about 20 kilometres south of Grande Prairie.
The vehicle was backing up when it hit the worker, RCMP Cpl. Maria Ogden said.
An RCMP forensic collision reconstructionist and forensic identification personnel are involved in the collision investigation. Police have reconstructed what happened by looking at tire tracks, Ogden said.
Grande Prairie RCMP said they are unable to release the name of the dead man.
