The incident occurred in the busy Yonge and Eglinton area, so it's very lucky that no one was injured by the falling platform.

Toronto Fire and police officers are currently at the scene.

This summer, a crane collapsed in downtown Toronto, smashing into a neighbouring office building. Remarkably, the crane operator managed to climb down to safety.
