A 70-year-old man performing renovations in his Killcare Heights home has fallen two storeys through the floor.
According to witnesses the man landed on his head and lost consciousness from the impact.
CareFlight’s Rapid Response Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance at 11:30am and landed 45 minutes later in the grounds of Bells at Killcare. NSW Ambulance paramedics had treated the man at the scene of the incident and transported him to CareFlight’s clinical team in the clearing.
