Man rescued from storm drain at Saskatoon dog park
One man was rescued from a storm drain in Saskatoon Friday after he became trapped by a 'significant' amount of storm-water.
On Friday evening, a man found himself trapped in a storm drain at a Saskatoon dog park, due to a significant amount of storm-water caused by heavy rain. The situation came to light when Saskatoon police received a call for assistance around 8 p.m. in the 3700 block of Kinnear Avenue. Officers quickly responded to the scene, with one officer descending into the drain to assist the trapped man, who was pinned against a gate by the strong flow of water.
The officer kept the man's head above water while the Saskatoon Fire Department was called for backup. Two fire trucks responded to the scene, cutting the grate and securing the man with a harness before lifting him to safety. The man was immediately given medical attention at the scene before being transported to the hospital by Medavie.
