Man wedged between transport truck cab suffers critical injuries: Ottawa paramedics

A man suffered life-threatening injuries after getting trapped between the frame of a lifted transport truck cab on Tuesday.

Ottawa paramedics say emergency services responded to the 100 block of Colonnade Road, east of Merivale Road at approximately 5:20 p.m.

Spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps says the man was trapped between the “frame and the cab” of the truck.

He was taken to hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, Deschamps says.

The circumstances of the incident remain unclear.

The Ottawa Police Service told CTV News Ottawa Wednesday morning it responded to reports of an injured man at a workplace.

“As this is a workplace injury and there is no criminality, we must refer you to the Ministry of Labour for any further details or questions,” police said, adding it is assisting the ministry.

CTV News has reached out to the Ministry of Labour for more information.
