A 38-year-old man has been rushed to Foothills hospital after a 700 pound piece of metal fell on him at the Calgary Metal Works yard in Ogden.

He is in stable, non-life threatening condition.

EMS spokesperson Stuart Brideaux tells 660News, it appears the accident happened while the man was working with the piece of metal.

“It was being moved in the yard in a controlled fashion, and unfortunately due to the circumstances, it was set down in a fashion that struck the worker while he was working.”

Brideaux says co-workers rushed in with heavy equipment to un-pin the man, before emergency crews arrived.
