One person is dead and another injured following an industrial accident Friday morning at Tubello Stoneworks, a business on the 400 block of McDonald Street, Regina police said.

Emergency crews and a coroner were called to the scene shortly before 9 a.m. where two adults with injuries were found. The coroner confirmed the death of one individual before EMS transported the other to hospital, a Regina police news release said.

Police said McDonald Street was re-opened to traffic around 3 p.m. Friday afternoon after all lanes were closed between Hoffer Drive and 1st Avenue in the hours following the incident.

CTV News observed what appeared to be a load of granite or marble stone that may have fallen off of a transport truck. A forklift could also be seen near the truck.

At least 15 emergency vehicles were visible at the scene.

Regina police said work was underway to identify the person who died and notify next of kin.

“Police are also assisting Occupational Health and Safety as this incident may be considered a workplace fatality,” Regina police said in the release.
