Calgary police investigating after 2 victims struck by 1,700 pounds of loaded pallets
After initially responding to a report of an industrial accident, Calgary police are now investigating an incident that occurred Sunday morning as a potential commercial break and enter. Loaded pallets — estimated to weigh more than 1,700 pounds — injured two people. Police said they received a call at 7:45 a.m. about a potential industrial accident around the 5500 block of Fifth Street S.E. Witnesses saw a bloodied adult woman crawling into traffic in the area, who indicated her friend was trapped inside the yard of local business, Merlin Plastics. Upon arriving to the scene, the Calgary Fire Department and police said they found an injured man bleeding severely underneath a pile of overturned pallets that were loaded with crushed recycled materials. Police said they estimated the pile to weigh more than 1,700 pounds, and it took all attending members to lift the material and extricate the man. Both the man and woman were rushed to hospital in critical condition. As of noon on Sunday, the man was still in critical condition, while the woman had been upgraded to stable with severe injuries, police said. The woman's injuries were likely a result of the falling materials striking her and knocking her to the ground, police added. Neither the man nor woman are employed by Merlin Plastics, police said, and were not authorized to be in the area where they were found — so CPS is investigating case as a potential commercial break and enter.
