TORONTO — A 50-year-old Toronto transit worker has died of his injuries a week after he was pinned by two vehicles at an east-end transit yard. Tom Dedes was pinned between a vehicle and a train at around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 1 and was taken to hospital in “very serious” condition. Dedes had worked for the transit agency for 18 years most recently as a subway track maintenance employee, according to the Toronto Transit Commission. The TTC says Dedes and his co-workers were off-loading equipment from a pickup truck onto a workcar at the yard when he became pinned between the two vehicles. The Ontario Ministry of Labour and the TTC are both investigating the incident.
