2 in hospital after being pinned in Etobicoke industrial accident
CBC
Two workers were injured at a Toronto construction site on Thursday and one was rescued by fire crews who used a basket and crane to lower the man to the ground.
Emergency crews were called to the site on Dundas Street W. near Kipling Avenue at about 12:25 p.m for reports of two people trapped.
Toronto paramedics said they took a 38-year-old man with life-threatening injuries to a trauma centre and a 42-year-old man with non-life-threatening injuries to a local hospital.
According to paramedics, a crane shifted and the two workers were pinned by scaffolding.
Toronto Fire Services said its crews performed a "high-angle rescue" to bring one man to safety, using rigging, pulleys and ropes and the crane that was there to anchor the rescue effort.
The other worker, meanwhile, made his way off the roof and down through the building with some help from fire crews.
Ontario's Ministry of Labour says it is investigating. The ministry said the two workers were injured while working on a construction project.
