Worker injured in fall at DS Smith mill

UNITED KINGDOM (From Kent Online) -- An air ambulance and paramedics were called to the Kemsley Paper Mill on Tuesday after a man fell from a scaffolding.

The man, believed to be in his 50s, was initially thought to have plunged more than 15 feet while working at the site.

However as crews rushed to the scene, it was revealed that the height of the fall was closer to 5 feet.

Emergency crews arrived at the DS Smith mill at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, with two ambulances and rapid response cars also attending.

The man was reportedly treated for breathing difficulties, back pain and a concussion.

A South East Coast Ambulance spokesman also revealed he suffered from memory loss and periods of unconsciousness.

Air ambulance crews including a doctor joined the paramedics as they took the patient to Medway Maritime Hospital by road.
