A man suffered only a minor injury after a brick wall partially collapsed on top of his car while he was inside of it.

Paramedics said they received a call at 1:40 p.m. and responded to the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Sherbrooke Street West in Westmount.

A portion of the brick wall of a residential building collapsed, sending a flurry of bricks onto the roof of the car, which caved in.

First responders found a 58-year-old man at the scene and treated him before sending him to hospital.

Paramedics say they don’t fear for his life.
