The Polar Express ride at the CNE will remain closed until further notice after a man was seriously injured Monday night.

Toronto police said it received reports of a man injured on a ride around 9:25 p.m. at Nunavut Rd. and Princess Blvd. The man was rushed to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. 

Police said the Technical Standard Standard and Safety Authority has taken over the investigation. 

“Safety is a top priority for the CNE, and the Polar Express will remain closed until the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and our third-party consultants can ensure the ride was not compromised,” North American Midway Entertainment (NAME) and the CNE said in a statement to Now Toronto.
