Worker fatally crushed beneath heavy equipment at Ontario Place redevelopment
CBC
A male construction worker was killed Tuesday when he was reportedly crushed beneath heavy equipment at the Ontario Place redevelopment site on the Toronto waterfront, emergency services say.
Toronto police said they received a call about the incident shortly before 9:40 a.m. and that the worker was pronounced dead at the scene.
Details are scarce, but a spokesperson for Toronto Fire said it appears some kind of heavy machinery toppled over and the worker was crushed beneath it.
Toronto paramedics said they attended the scene but did not transport anyone to hospital. Any further questions were directed to police.
The Ministry of Labour, which investigates all workplace deaths, has been notified, police said.
More to come.
Two anonymous letters first tipped the Manitoba government off to possible collusion by contractors vying for dozens of public housing projects more than a decade ago, according to search warrant documents — but charges against the people accused could now be stayed because the process has taken so long.
