An investigation is underway after a construction worker died Wednesday morning after suffering an apparent injury at a work site in German Village.

The Columbus Division of Fire got a call around 10:50 a.m. for a reported injury near Jaeger and East Kossuth streets. The worker was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center where they died.

It was not immediately clear what type of injuries the worker suffered or how they occurred.

Although signs around the project site Wednesday stated Corna-Kokosing is managing the construction project, the company is now known as the CK Construction Group.

In a statement, CK Construction said the employee who died worked for a subcontractor.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss," the statement said. "All those who are involved are working with the appropriate authorities to investigate this tragic accident."
