TORONTO — Seven people including a baby narrowly averted serious injuries on Monday afternoon as scaffolding came tumbling down to the streets of one of Toronto's most bustling neighbourhoods.
Police flocked to a construction site in the city's Forest Hill neighbourhood around 2:30 p.m. after the accident at a building currently being turned into a new public transit stop.
Police, firefighters and paramedics teamed up to rescue seven people believed to have been trapped in the rubble. Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said those people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
