Downtown Regina scaffolding falls, sending 2 to hospital
Two people are in hospital after a workplace incident in Regina's downtown. A scaffolding deck fell from its attachment Tuesday afternoon at a building on Hamilton Street.
Two individuals were hospitalized following a workplace incident in downtown Regina. Emergency services, including police, fire, and EMS, responded to the scene and found two men injured. The men were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A platform had fallen from a building, along with debris on the street.
Witnesses believe the platform may have fallen due to improper anchoring - it was attached to bricks at the top of the building rather than a structural anchor. The incident is under investigation by police and occupational health and safety officials. The area remains cordoned off, and residents are advised to avoid the scene.
