A man suffered serious injuries after falling one storey at a factory in Salt River yesterday.
ER24 paramedics, along with the Western Cape Metro Rescue, arrived on the scene shortly before 10am.
They found a man lying inside an enclosed space through the floor. Medics found that he had sustained injuries to his pelvis and shoulder leaving him in a serious condition.
The man was treated for his injuries before the Western Cape Metro Rescue Services hoisted him out of the enclosed space, using several rope rescue techniques.
The man was then transported to Life Vincent Palotti Hospital for further care.
The details surrounding the incident remain unknown.
