Man escapes after being pinned between tractor and trailer

 

A man is lucky to be alive after he was pinned between a semi and a trailer in northeast Calgary.

It happened at the Wal-Mart industrial warehouse on 34 Avenue NE, just before 8 a.m. Monday.

EMS Spokesperson Stuart Brideaux says someone moved the truck to free the man before crews arrived.

“Paramedics assessed a man in his mid-40s, and determined he was otherwise in stable condition,” explained Brideaux. “However, he still required further assessment and follow-up at the Foothills Hospital where we transported him.”

Brideaux says testing will be done to make sure he didn’t sustain serious internal injuries.

Occupational Health and Safety has been called in to investigate.
