A Toronto Hydro worker was rushed to hospital without vital signs on Wednesday afternoon following an industrial accident that has left about 600 customers without power. Toronto Hydro says power will be restored when Ontario's ministry of labour indicates that it is safe for hydro crews to work. It confirmed that the employer is Toronto Hydro. Russell Baker, spokesperson for Toronto Hydro, said the utility turned off power in the area at the request of the ministry. "Customers should be prepared to be without power for an extended period of time," Kaitlyn Woods, another spokesperson for Toronto Hydro, said late Wednesday.
