A BUILDER is believed to have fallen from scaffolding in Chelmsford earlier this afternoon.
The Essex Air Ambulance was spotted landing in Oaklands Park at just after 3pm today (Tuesday) after the man is though to have fallen from some scaffolding erected at Holly House.
The extent of the man's injuries are not yet fully known but witnesses have said he had injuries to his cheekbone after falling from a height of approximately 15 feet.
He was carrying out some painting for Holly House when the accident happened, and company director Tim Lloyd explained that the scaffolding collapsed with the man on it.
"It was quite a nasty fell, he fell about 15 feet," Mr Lloyd said. "He was conscious but I'm not sure if he was concussed. Until I speak to him, I won't know how the scaffolding fell."
