A worker has died after falling into a cement truck at a construction company in the city's east end, paramedics say.

At around 3:45 p.m. emergency crews were called to Lafarge Paving and Construction at 1641 Bearbrook Rd. in Gloucester, said Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson J.P. Trottier.

Ontario's Ministry of Labour has been called in to investigate.

A spokesperson for Lafarge said the company was "co-operating with the local authorities" and that it was "inappropriate" to comment further.

The man's name and age have not been released.
