FOX CREEK- A construction accident in northern Alberta has killed two workers.

Source Energy Services says that the contractors died on Tuesday during work on additional storage capacity for what’s known as fracking sand at the company’s terminal near Fox Creek.

The sand is used by companies in Alberta’s energy sector to extract oil and natural gas from tight geologic formations.
