ELORA – A Rona employee is dead after being hit by a vehicle while at work on Saturday.
Emergency crews were called to the business, located on Wellington Road 18 across from the Elora Quarry, at about 3:15pm on April 6.
“It was reported that a customer had caused serious injuries to an employee when they struck them with their vehicle,” states an Wellington County OPP press release.
Police say a 67-year-old Fergus man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial page to local firefighters at 3:17pm stated the call was “for a patient having a cardiac arrest.”
Three minutes later, a third call stated “a male (was) unresponsive (with a) vehicle on top of him.”
The name of the man was not initially released by the OPP, likely so his family could be notified first.
Police say the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Ministry of Labour were notified and the investigation is ongoing.
