A woman in her 20s sustained serious injuries after she was hit by concrete that fell from the ceiling at Union Station’s GO terminal Thursday afternoon. She was taken to hospital.

Toronto paramedics received a call at 5:21 p.m. about a woman who was walking inside the Bay St. West Teamway by platform seven-eight when she was injured by falling concrete. The Teamway is a tunnel that passengers enter to get to their platform.

The woman was hit by a piece of concrete about a foot in diameter that fell from the ceiling. There were large stains of blood left on the platform.

Immediately after the concrete struck the woman, four special constable officers were on the scene treating her along with two security guards.

The area where the incident took place was closed for the investigation for the rest of the evening.

Metrolinx spokesperson Matt Llewellyn tweeted Friday morning that the Bay West Teamway was open again, having been deemed safe by crews of engineers who “spent the night thoroughly inspecting the Teamway.

“Some minor concrete scaling and repairs were made. As is always the case, (we’ll) continue to monitor the Teamway, and out of an abundance of caution have ordered another inspection in the coming weeks,” he said. “We wish the woman who was injured last night, a full and fast recovery.”

Another spokesperson for Metrolinx, Nitish Bissonauth, weighed in Friday morning to also extend his well wishes to the injured woman.

“What happened last night at the Bay West Teamway was very unfortunate,” he tweeted. “Union station is still safe and we will do everything to keep it that way.”
