A 14-year-old boy has had a lucky escape from serious injury after falling down a lift shaft at the old Wangi Power Station.
Emergency services were called to the disused power plant on Summerhill Drive just before 2.00pm on Sunday where the boy had fallen about 10 metres.
Luckily, he landed on a ledge which prevented him falling a further 50 metres to the bottom. Rescuers say the boy most likely would not have survived the 60 metre fall.
He was rescued by Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance teams and taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition with a broken wrist.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
