Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter yesterday afternoon transported a 26-year-old man to the Gold Coast Hospital after he fell five metres through a skylight at a warehouse in the Byron Bay industrial estate.
The man was treated at the scene for severe head injuries by flight paramedics before being flown to the Gold Coast Hospital in a critical condition.
It is the second time in less than six months that an accident of this nature has happened at the estate. In February a man died in Gold Coast Hospital after falling through the ceiling of a warehouse where he was installing insulation.
