Police called to ‘workplace incident’

Ontario Provincial Police say emergency crews were called to a “workplace incident” at a home in the community of Dutton-Dunwich that resulted in a teenager being flown to hospital for treatment.

It was about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday when police say emergency crews, including St. Thomas paramedics, were called to a home on Aberdeen Line near Iona Road in the rural community, located about a 40-minute drive southwest of London.

Police say a 19-year-old was flown to hospital with serious injuries suffered during a fall that happened “while performing work on the property.”

Ontario’s labour ministry had been notified and was expected to continue the investigation, police said.
