A MAN was rushed to hospital after falling from scaffolding in Harpenden yesterday.

The air ambulance landed close to the scene, on the Common, at around 3.40pm, after receiving reports of a man in his 50s who had suffered head injuries as a result of the fall in Leyton Road.

Ambulance service spokesman Gary Sanderson said: “We believe the man fell off scaffolding and landed on wooden planks on the next level below.

“When our paramedics arrived at the scene, they found him approximately six feet up, he had received a head injury.”

The injured man was assessed at the scene and taken to hospital by paramedics but the air ambulance was not needed.
