Regina rescue personnel spent much of Monday afternoon at the CN Railyard near McIntosh and First Avenue North after a man’s leg got caught in some equipment.

The call came in just before 1 o clock with Regina Fire saying the man was off-loading grain from a semi-trailer into a hopper car when he somehow became entangled in a grain auger.

The fire department says it took around 45 minutes to free the man, but he did suffer what are said to be serious injuries. CN says the worker was an employee of a company that uses CN facilities to load rail cars. (CKRM)
