Man injured after falling through Bridgnorth factory roof
A man has been airlifted to hospital after falling 20ft through a factory roof in in Stourbridge Road, Bridgnorth this afternoon.
The 23-year-old man fell through the ceiling of the factory’s roof space at around 3.15pm, landing in a five foot deep pit in the ground.
He suffered a fractured jaw and abrasions to his chest and legs.
The man had managed to get himself out of the pit prior to crews arriving but had reportedly been knocked unconscious when he landed.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews gave the man pain relief and immobilised him with a neck collar and scoop stretcher before transferring him the awaiting air ambulance, which had landed in a field nearby.”
The man was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, a specialist trauma centre, for further assessment and treatment.
