A crane on the Eglinton Crosstown construction site collapsed Monday evening, sending a worker to hospital with minor injuries.
CP24 reports the incident took place at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road. Toronto Paramedics Services say that a worker was sent to hospital after suffering from minor injuries.
Metrolinx, who is in charge of the Crosstown project, said in a statement that they are investigating the situation. “We understand Crosslinx engineers and staff are on site to determine exactly what happened and fully understand the cause and impact of this incident... Safety is critical to everything Metrolinx does. We will continue to monitor and update the situation as we learn more.”
The Toronto Fire Service were also present at the scene, and Fire Chief Matthew Pegg confirmed that an investigation will be conducted by the Ministry of Labour.
Eglinton Avenue East remains closed from Mount Pleasant Road to Taunton Road in order to let crews investigate.
