A man, believed to be in his sixties, has succumbed to the injuries he suffered during a workplace mishap at Hino Central Calgary, a large fleet vehicle company in the city’s southeast.
According to EMS spokesperson Stuart Brideaux, an EMS crew responded to the business in the 3600 block of 56 Ave. S.E. just before 1:00 p.m. Friday following reports of a person pinned under a vehicle.

EMS attended to the man for several minutes before the patient succumbed to his injuries. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials with Occupational Health and Safety confirm they are investigating the incident.
