Operator
Good afternoon. My name is Julianne, and I will be your operator today. All participants are now in a listen-only mode.
At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Tracy Robinson, CN's President and Chief Executive Officer. Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Robinson.
Tracy Robinson
Thank you, Julianne, and good afternoon, everyone. We're here in Memphis today. We've had our Board meetings over the past two days and have had an opportunity to spend some time visiting our local facilities. Now we did a pre-recording of our prepared remarks over the weekend. But before we play those remarks, we received some very sad news today about the loss of one of our engineering employees.
Early this morning, there was a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia. A semi-truck collated with the CN engineering vehicle with two employees on board. We are deeply saddened that one of our CN family. [indiscernible] suffered fatal injuries as a result of the accident and died at the scene. The other employee traveling in the truck was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
I understand he's now in critical, but stable condition. Our prayers are with him and his family. The second group of CN employees is traveling behind the first vehicle was the first on the scene to respond. They showed a tremendous courage and compassion in a critical situation, a very tragic and painful loss for all of us at CN and our hearts go out to [indiscernible] family.
Before we move on to the business today, I want to remind all CN employees and everyone listening in today to take care of yourself and those around you, stay safe. So operator, could you please start the pre-recording with Stacy Alderson, our Head of Investor Relations.
Stacy Alderson
