After falling from a ladder, a man has been air lifted to hospital.

Devon Air Ambulance was called to Dartmouth just before 12 noon today. The injured man had suffered injuries after a fall and was taken to Derriford Hospital.

Dart Harbour told the Chronicle, a builder fell from a ladder just along from the harbour authority’s office.

After an ambulance was called, Dart Harbour was asked to provide first aid and Kate Distin, Dart Harbour’s finance manager attended the scene.

Upon arrival, the ambulance called for Devon Air Ambulance to take him to hospital. Dart Harbour staff cleared Coronation Park to enable the helicopter to land and take off.
