A 37-year-old dump truck driver is dead following an industrial accident in east Saint John on Thursday.
The Saint John Police and WorkSafeNB, the provincial organization that investigates workplace accidents, are looking into the death of Robert Beaulieu of the Kingston Peninsula who was killed at a gravel pit off Grandview Avenue at about 2 p.m.
Geoff Britt, a spokesman for J.D. Irving Ltd., the company that owns the gravel pit, said Beaulieu had worked for J.D. Irving's Gulf Operators Ltd. for about five years.
“All I know is he was in the process of unloading the material from his dump truck when the accident occurred," Britt said.
"It's very sad. Everybody's just devastated by it."
Police and safety investigators remained on the scene for several hours on Thursday. No other details are being released.
"We're co-operating fully with WorkSafe New Brunswick in investigating to determine the cause of this tragic accident,” Britt said.
“The driver's been employed for quite some time and we're just feeling terrible about it. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends and co-workers at this difficult time."
