Construction worker airlifted to Kingston hospital after building site collapse
A construction worker was airlifted to a Kingston hospital from a Brockville, Ont. construction site Wednesday afternoon after being trapped for hours and suffering serious injuries, according to Brockville Police. Multiple emergency crews spent "several hours" working together to try to extricate the man, who had become trapped in a multi-level building in development, police explained in a press release. The injured man was finally rescued and airlifted to the Kingston Health Sciences Centre by an Ornge air ambulance, said Jeff Carss, chief of the Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service. He was in critical condition after sustaining life-threatening injuries but was "conscious and alert" when removed from the structure, Carss said. An early investigation has revealed that a portion of a concrete staircase had given way and fallen, pinning the construction worker in the stairwell, according to Brockville Police.
