CALGARY- One man has died following a workplace incident south of Calgary.

EMS say they were called to Contour Earthmoving Limited along Wrangler Way SE near Glenmore Trail around 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning. Workers were using a forklift to move the cab off of a grader, when the load became unstable and fell onto the victim who was walking by.

Other employees managed to free the man in his 50s and begin giving him first aid. However, he died at the scene.

RCMP and Occupational Health and Safety are now investigating.
