On Friday morning at around 07:58, our Centurion crew responded to a fall from heights incident at Zwartkop High School in Centurion.
On arrival, we found the patient lying on the floor in the school hall, and several school personnel had administered first aid.
The man, a maintenance worker at the school, fell several meters while doing routine maintenance on the roof of the school hall.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident are not clear at this time.
The patient was stabilized on the scene under advanced paramedical care and airlifted to a level-one trauma facility by Netcare911 Helicopter Emergency Medical Services.
