A worker has died and another is seriously injured after they became trapped under landfill in a western Sydney quarry.
Emergency services arrived at the Eastern Creek work site about 12:45pm on Monday, following reports the two men were trapped.
Fellow workers and emergency services battled to free the men from under debris.
The men are believed to have become trapped under waste when a tipper truck rolled.
One man in his early 30s has been taken to Westmead Hospital with abdominal and shoulder injuries, while the other has died.
The matter is now being investigated by Work Safe NSW.
More to come.
