Downtown Regina scaffolding falls, sending 2 to hospital

Two individuals were hospitalized following a workplace incident in downtown Regina, according to initial reports. Emergency services, including police, fire, and EMS, responded to the scene and found two men injured. Their injuries were described as non-life threatening. A platform was seen dangling from a building, along with debris on the ground.

Witnesses suggested that the platform might have been improperly secured, attached to bricks at the top of the building rather than a proper structural anchor. The incident is under investigation by police and occupational health and safety officials. The area remains cordoned off, and residents have been advised to stay away.
