2nd March 2010, 3:30pm

A man was injured when he plunged four metres from the roof to the ground while cleaning the gutters of his house at Kenthurst, in Sydney's north-west, today.

Ambulance officers alerted the NRMA CareFlight rapid response trauma team to the man's plight shortly after 3 pm.

The helicopter landed in a neighbour's property in Burrell Road to allow the CareFlight doctor to work with ambulance paramedics in stabilising the man.

The CareFlight doctor said the 58-year-old man suffered multiple injuries but remained conscious.

After stabilisation the CareFlight doctor will continue treatment as the man is taken, in a road ambulance, to Westmead Hospital for further assessment.

The CareFlight doctor teams with ambulance paramedics to treat the man where he fell from the roof of his Kenthurst home while cleaning gutters.

For further information please contact Ian Badham at the NRMA CareFlight office on 9843 5100.
