NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 32-year-old construction worker was struck and killed by a "large container," reportedly a dumpster, outside a home in Queens on Monday morning, officials said.

The man was hit in the head by the falling container just before 10:30 a.m. at a home on 191st Street, near Northern Boulevard, in Murray Hill.


A Department of Buildings complaint reported that he was "pinned between a dumpster and the house."

The worker suffered head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

He has not yet been identified.
