A 62-year-old man died at the Pacella Quarry in Westford this morning after a large metal plate fell on him, police said.
Police received a call about the accident around 7:30, said Captain Victor Neal. The large plate, similar to those used to cover holes in the road, was used to keep rocks from getting under the quarry's rock-crushing machine.
Neal said that when police arrived the man was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man’s death appeared to be an accident, Neal said, but police are still investigating.
