Two men are suing the City of Winnipeg after they crashed into a snow-covered cement block while tobogganing on Garbage Hill in 2020.
The men, Benjamin Overton and Andrew Worth, allege that the city was negligent and failed in its duty of care in a statement of claim filed with Manitoba’s Court of Queen’s Bench on Friday.
Overton and Worth went to Garbage Hill, formally known as Westview Park, with their families in the afternoon of Dec. 27, 2020. At about 3:30 p.m., the two men rode a toboggan together down a clear, unmarked snow-covered portion on the south side of the hill when they unexpectedly hit the cement block, resulting in serious injuries.
