Though police have not specified details of the incident, unconfirmed eyewitness accounts state that the man was thrown from the popular Polar Express ride on the CNE Midway.

The unidentified male rider reportedly suffered a concussion and other wounds, and is reportedly in serious but non-life-threatening condition at a local hospital.

Police later reported that the TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) has been notified, and the accident is pending investigation by the TSSA and not the Ministry of Labour as originally reported by other media.

There is no current timeline from the CNE on the reopening of the Polar Express ride.
