CALGARY, Alberta, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Two workers have been killed in a vehicle collision at Suncor Energy 's SU.TO Fort Hills oil sands mine in northern Alberta, a Suncor spokeswoman said on Wednesday, prompting the company to pause mine operations while an investigation is underway.
A bulldozer hit a light vehicle truck at around 5:30 p.m. local time on Monday, resulting in the death of two workers employed by Clearstream, which provides mining services at Fort Hills, Suncor said.
Alberta Occupational Health and Safety is on the scene.
"Mine operations have been stood down while the investigation is underway and the rest of the site is focused on critical work only," Suncor spokeswoman Jennifer Lomas said.
