Boom lift rescue after roof fall

A man was taken to hospital with head injuries this morning in Palmyra, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, after he fell from the roof of a house under construction and landed on a scaffold tower.

The emergency services used a boom lift that was on site, to bring the man down from a point of around five metres above ground.

While the above appears to be what happened, we have actually received three inputs on this one, all of which are slightly different, so we may update during the day.
