Toronto Sun: Man hit by car on picket line
TORONTO (CP) — A man was struck by a vehicle early today at a picket line outside a Toronto college.
The man was hit outside Centennial College in the city’s east-end by a car trying to get through a picket line set up by striking faculty, according to television station CITY-TV.
The report said the man, believed to be in his 50s, was taken to hospital by ambulance bleeding from the head.
It’s unclear if he’s a faculty member and there are conflicting reports as to whether he jumped on the hood of the car or was hit.
The incident occurred just hours before colleges and the union representing striking faculty members were to resume negotiations.
The talks are the first break in the impasse since the strike by 9,100 faculty at 24 college sidelined 150,000 students on March 7.
