A Prosteel North worker killed in Chelmsford Monday after the trusses collapsed at a residential construction site is the third person who's died in a workplace accident in Greater Sudbury so far this year.
A second worker with the Wikwemikong-based company was also injured in the Aug. 21 incident, which is under investigation by the Ministry of Labour.
In February, 39-year-old Sudbury man Rhéal Dionne died while driving a dump truck at Rainbow Concrete.
His father said he was told his son was using the truck to haul snow Feb. 15 when he drove it through an archway on company property, and part of the structure collapsed onto the vehicle.
The heavy debris crashed through the top of the truck's cab, crushing Rhéal Dionne.
In April, Cecchetto and Sons employee Ron Lepage, 59, was also killed in a dump truck accident.
He was pinned under the tires of a dump truck April 6, sustaining fatal injuries. Lepage was disposing waste materials in the Vale tailings area for the mining company's Clean AER project at the time.
Sudbury.com has reached out to Prosteel North for comment on the most recent fatality, but has not yet received a reply.
