A 71-year-old man suffered serious head injuries Wednesday after he was struck and trapped beneath a car.
Emergency crews were called to the scene in downtown Ottawa shortly after 9 a.m.
They found the man wedged completely under the driver's side of the Toyota Camry.
Bystanders rushed to free the man using a car jack to lift the vehicle off him. Firefighters stabilized the vehicle while paramedics pulled him out.
The man remained unconscious en route to hospital, where he remains in serious condition.
