Hundreds of TTC commuters rush a shuttle bus on Yonge St. at York Mills station. An accident involving a maintenance train that killed one worker and injured two others shut a stretch of the Yonge line early in the morning of April 23007 12:40 PM

Commuters won’t be able to ride the Yonge St. subway between Eglinton Ave. and York Mills for the rest of the day, officials said this afternoon, as an investigation continued into an early morning accident in which a TTC worker was crushed to death and two others were taken to hospital.
TTC officials said they’ll be deploying shuttle buses for the afternoon rush hours and stopped short of promising that the subway would be open by tomorrow morning after a section of the line was closed just before 5 a.m. this morning due to the fatal accident.
The driver of an 11-member work crew was killed and two other workers were injured in the tunnel south of the Lawrence station.
The TTC has not identified the worker but he was a five-year employee and had received commendations for his work.
One worker was expected to be released from Sunnybrook hospital later today while the other has been admitted with broken ribs. The transit employee was killed around 4:30 a.m., in the underground near Lytton Blvd.
TTC chairman Adam Giambrone told reporters that 11 workers were cleaning asbestos from the walls of the tunnel. Once their job was complete, they rode on a flat-bed work car to the Davisville yard.
Suddenly, the work car came into contact with something protruding from the tunnel wall. Then some scaffolding equipment aboard one car became dislodged and fell onto the worker, crushing him.
TTC officials say they are still uncertain how a piece of equipment became dislodged from the first of three work cars. The equipment, about the size of a small car, smashed into the second car, crushing the driver. It’s not known where the two other workers were riding. At least eight other workers from the crew were in the last of the three cars.
It’s not known how fast the work-cars were travelling when the equipment snagged. “We need to understand what actually caught on what,” said acting general manager Gary Webster.
Police, TTC, fire officials and the provincial Ministry of Labour have been conducting the investigation.
Officials remained tight-lipped about what was happening below. At street level, where Yonge St. had been closed off, about a dozen TTC safety workers wearing reflective vests conferred with police and fire officials.
Emergency vehicles, including a Toronto Fire command vehicle and a collision reconstruction unit, lined both sides of Yonge St. as only the shuttle buses were getting through.
In a statement today, Mayor David Miller extended his sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased at "this difficult time."
"The loss of any life is tragic, but especially when it comes while on the job," Miller said.
Miller said the fatality was "shocking."
"We pride ourselves on ensuring that our workers work in safe environments at the city and the accident has been very shocking to all of us," Miller said.
Told that TTC chair Adam Giambrone has grave concerns about worker safety, given another accident in the area a couple years ago, Miller said: "I do share Councillor Giambrone's concerns for the workers. One incident is too many. Until we really know the cause we can't know the solution but it's appropriate for the city to be reviewing its safety procedures because accidents like this shouldn't happen, period."
Stranded commuters struggled to get to work.
Tara Kubicki, 31, found her bus stop was so crowded she ended up walking north and catching a bus to Eglinton, which took her an hour.
“I heard the news, I thought I would wait it out, but then I heard on Breakfast Television it would be out all day. The situation is unfortunate.”
Student Jenny Tsang was caught trying to get to an exam on time.
“This is not a good day,” she said.
The 23-year old pharmacy student had been dropped at Don Mills station at 10 a.m. but got caught up in the confusion.
“I hope the professors can accommodate,” she said.
