BOURNE, Mass. -- Two Massachusetts workers are dead after their bucket truck tipped over Saturday while they were in the basket more than 100 feet in the air at a Cape Cod site.

Bourne police confirmed the Saturday deaths at Cape Cod Aggregates Corp. near Scenic Highway. They didn't release the men's names.

The men were working for a contractor for an NStar utility project, The Cape Cod Times reported. They appeared to be working underneath high tension power lines, near utility poles, on sandy barren land.
