A MAN has been airlifted to hospital after falling from a ladder at the former British Sugar Site, off Stourport Road, Kidderminster, on Tuesday, April 19.
West Midland Ambulance Service (WMAS) were called to the incident at the construction site just before 9am.
A man in his 40s, believed to be working on the site, had fallen 10 foot from a ladder and had suffered facial and neck injuries.
A spokesman from WMAS said: "The man, believed to be in his 40s, had reportedly been knocked unconscious after falling around 10 feet from a ladder.
"A Midlands Air Ambulance crew, from Cosford, with a doctor on board and a land ambulance attended the scene.
"When ambulance staff arrived the man had thankfully regained consciousness and was treated for a facial injury on scene.
"Upon further assessment, ambulance staff and the doctor also suspected a neck injury so the man was fully immobilised with a neck collar and scoop stretcher before being airlifted in a stable condition to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Birmingham, a specialist trauma centre, for onward care."
