Landscaper pinned by van By Craig MacBride SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER A landscaper is in hospital with severe leg injuries after being pinned between a minivan and his trailer at a work site at 30 Speers Rd. The crash happened shortly after an argument between the landscaper and another man, according to police. With caution tape surrounding the scene, a man in the back o f a police car and the victim's blood still wet on the curb where he fell, residents o f the nearby apartment buildings attempted to piece together the story. According to one witness, the van was moving quickly when it hit both the parked trailer attached to a red pickup truck and the landscaper, estimated to be in his early 20s. Bob Bouchard, who lives two build ings from the scene, said the landscaper was retrieving his lawnmower from the trailer when he was hit and pinned by the van. The front passenger side of the maroon Ford Aerostar was crushed, and part o f its bumper was lying on the ground more than 15 feet behind the rest o f the vehicle. The wheel well of the trailer was also damaged. The van stopped beyond the trailer, and the landscaper made it to the curb, where he writhed and screamed in pain while another woman tried to help him, according to one witness. Halton Regional Police Sgt. Val Hay confirmed the landscaper was in hospital being treated for severe leg injuries. She said the landscaper had allegedly been talking another man before the incident. The landscaper was taken to hospital, and an accident reconstruction team arrived to investigate the incident. A man was escorted in handcuffs by police into a patrol car and taken to the police station. Charges are pending the completion of the investigation.
