Man badly hurt in Yonge/Eglinton hi-rise construction zone

A construction worker suffered what are being called significant injuries when he was trapped between a construction elevator and the wall of the building eight storeys up on Broadway Ave between Redpath Ave. and Mt. Pleasant Rd. Monday. The careful extrication of the victim took well over an hour, according to TFS sources. Down below, traffic was paralyzed on Broadway and on Roehampton Ave, where overflow traffic encountered more single-lane construction slowdowns. The quadrant northwest of Eglinton and Mt. Pleasant is largely impassable most business days because of high-rise construction.
