Demolition work at another Eglinton Crosstown station has been halted in light of a structural collapse that sent seven people to hospital yesterday.

At around 2:30 p.m. Monday, a wall and scaffolding collapsed at a future Eglinton Crosstown station near Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue, spraying the area in debris and injuring several people.

The Ministry of Labour ordered that all work be stopped at the site following the incident but sources tell CP24 that Metrolinx is pausing demolition work at one other site near Bayview Avenue. That work has now been halted for a safety review.

"We are going to find out who is to blame because that is the frustrating part about health and safety accidents such as this. When we go back, when we read the report, we find out each and every time that it was preventable. That’s why we need to learn from this," Kevin Flynn, Ontario's labour minister, told reporters Tuesday afternoon.

Flynn added that the incident could have been much more devastating.

"That is not to minimize the injuries that did take place but certainly I think we’ve all learned something from this site today," he said.

In a release issued Tuesday night, Metrolinx said that the Ministry of Labour had determined that the building adjacent to the site of the Eglinton Avenue collapse was “unstable” and would need to be demolished tonight.

“The Ministry of Labour has approved the demolition plan and it will be supervised by the subcontractor’s engineer,” Metrolinx said.

“Until this work is completed…Eglinton Avenue will remain closed to traffic. The City of Toronto and media will be notified as soon as the work is complete and the road reopened.”

Officials previously said that three people, two females and a male, were rushed to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries following the incident. Four others, including a baby, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police said Monday afternoon that despite the baby's stroller being "quite mangled," the child was OK.

“Toronto Fire (Services) has advised us that the baby carriage basically saved the baby’s life,” Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook told reporters Monday afternoon.

Flynn said the province is treating the incident "very seriously" and has its top health and safety inspectors on scene.

"What we are awaiting now is a plan coming back from the employer as to how he or she is going to deal with the front of the site, how they are going to open the roadway up to traffic. Then we will proceed on to the site itself and see how we can safely commence work on the site," he said earlier Tuesday.

Flynn said he hopes the structural collapse will not cause too much of a delay in the construction of the station.

"This is a very important project for the City of Toronto. It’s been a long time coming. It is really, I think, awaited by people in the city but we want to make sure this proceeds safely."
