Durham Regional Police confirmed two workers were found and pulled out of the trench by rescue crews at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday after "extensive recovery operation."
Authorities say the large trench at the site near Rossland and Westney Roads caved in around noon, burying two workers and injuring another two men.
One of the injured was taken to a local hospital for a broken ankle, while another was airlifted to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, police said.
Firefighters and crews using heavy excavating equipment worked through the night trying to retrieve the buried men.
