A male worker has been transported to hospital via emergency run following an industrial accident in Scarborough.

The accident occurred at a construction site located at Pharmacy Ave and Sheppard Ave E.

There were reports that the worker was electrocuted but paramedics told CP24 that “multiple issues” were at play.

The Ministry of Labour, which is investigating the incident, confirms that a worker was injured when a tower crane hit an overhead powerline.

Police confirmed that the victim was unconscious but breathing when emergency crews arrived on scene.

The worker has been transported to a trauma centre in critical condition.

The victim is an employee of Darcon Inc., and the constructor is Paramount Structures Ltd.

Drivers can expect delays in the area and should consider alternate routes, Toronto police said.
