Rescue crews recovered the bodies of two men from a construction site in Ajax, Ont., where the trench they were digging collapsed Monday afternoon.
Sometime around midday, a large excavation near Rossland and Westney Roads collapsed, injuring two male workers and burying two others.
Ornge Air Ambulance responded to the scene and transported one person to hospital. A second worker suffered a broken ankle and was taken to a local hospital.
Firefighters and crews using heavy digging equipment worked through the night trying to rescue the trapped men.
Around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Durham Regional Police said they found the bodies of the two workers.
An Ontario Ministry of Labor investigation into the cause of the collapse is ongoing.
