One worker is dead and another has been airlifted to hospital with critical injuries after an industrial accident in Vaughan.

It happened around 4:45 p.m. on Applewood Crescent in the Jane Street and Langstaff Road area, York Regional Police said.

According to an Ornge spokesperson, a door fell on the two workers.

Paramedics and firefighters tried to resuscitate one of the men at the scene, but he succumbed to his injuries a short time later. His age was not immediately available.

The second worker -- a man in his 50s -- was airlifted to a trauma centre with critical injuries to his head and back, Ornge said.

The Ministry of Labour has been notified and is expected to attend the scene.
