TORONTO – A man who was using a mobility scooter is in serious condition after falling onto the subway tracks in Toronto on Monday afternoon.
Fire officials say the man – described as middle-aged – got off a train at College station, realized there was no elevator, but lost control when he tried to turn around and tumbled off the edge of the platform.
There were no trains coming at the time and service was soon halted and the man was rescued.
Fire Chief Mike Strapko says the man suffered a fractured leg and was sent to hospital in serious condition.
