PROVIDENCE – A worker was killed this morning at Capco Steel after he was struck in the head with a piece of steel.

Fire and police crews responded to the accident at 25 Acorn St., around 10:50 a.m., according to James Taylor, the Fire Department’s chief of communications.

Details about the man's identity and how the accident happened are not yet available.

Company officials at the site refused to comment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, however, confirmed late this afternoon that it is investigating the incident.

Capco Steel is also the steel fabricator and erector for the new Kent County Courthouse In Warwick.
