A man has died in the hospital after an industrial accident at AIM Recycling Atlantic in west Saint John.

Saint John police said emergency crews were called to the business on Gateway Street around 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

“A 60-year-old man working on-site was injured and transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries,” police said in a news release late Thursday.
