CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A Boeing employee working at the new Delta 4 launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station was killed in an apparent accident Monday, according to company officials.

Details about the incident and the name of the victim have not been released.

"Boeing, OSHA and the Air Force are all looking into the accident," said Boeing spokesman Larry Salazar.

According to a statement released by the Air Force's 45th Space Wing, the accident took place about 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) Monday. The victim was moved to nearby Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach, where the person was pronounced dead on arrival.

The accident happened at Launch Complex 37. Originally the site of Apollo Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B rocket launches during the 1960s, the site was razed to be re-built as the new home for Boeing's Delta 4 rocket, the company's contribution to the Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program.

Boeing plans to deliver its first flight-ready Delta 4 core vehicle to the Cape on Thursday, the next step toward inaugurating launch operations early next year.

Monday's death was the second at the launch pad this year.
