Buladelah man flown to John Hunter after fall

BY JARROD MELMETH

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter is currently flying a 60-year-old male from Buladelah to the John Hunter Hospital after falling 3-metres from a ladder.

The man was using a power tool, when an electric shock knocked him off the ladder causing him to fall a couple of metres. The cord was caught up around his lower leg causing a severe laceration. 

He is reportedly in a stable condition.
