A city of Longueuil worker who fell into a street sweeper on Thursday morning was not seriously injured, according to the worker's health and safety board, the CSST.
Early Thursday morning a male worker was trying to help another driver who was having problems with his street sweeper. They were on route 116 between Boucherville and Seigneurial east in Longueil.
Somehow the worker fell into the sweeper. The driver heard the 47-year-old man yelling "Turn off the machine! Turn off the machine!" which he did.
The driver then called 911 and firefighters arrived and cut the first worker out of the sweeper. He was treated by Urgences Sante technicians on scene for minor injuries.
He was taken to hospital with superficial cuts to his head and face, and then released.
The CSST is investigating.
