A Brinks truck rolled off a highway in the city’s west end Sunday, trapping three people inside.
A firefighter uses a sledgehammer to smash the window of the armored vehicle to try and free two Brinks guards stuck in the back of the truck. Crews had a difficult time trying to free those inside.
“They look like they went for quite a ride,” said Toronto EMS worker Glen Gillies. “They got tossed around quite a bit in the truck and with it being an armoured car, you can imagine it’s a pretty rough ride.”
The accident happened late Sunday afternoon on the northbound Highway 427 ramp at Highway 409.
Crews also had a tough time trying to free the driver from the wreck, and he sustained non-life threatening head injuries. The trio was taken by ambulance to Sunnybrook Hospital.
