SURREY (NEWS 1130) – One man is dead after a farming accident in Surrey.

It happened at around 2:30 this afternoon on 40th Avenue near 156th Street.

“Officers will be dispatched once we are given access from police. We will begin an investigation,” says Erica Simpson is with WorkSafe BC.

She says it’s too early to speculate on exactly what happened.

“Until we have a report and we know exactly what happened, it’d be really really early to speculate.”

RCMP are also looking into this case.
