Digger accident is investigated | |
(1 day later) | |
An investigation is under way at a recycling centre near Enniskillen after an accident in which a man in his 50s was seriously injured. | |
Ronnie Marshall was operating a digger at Drummee Waste Management Facility which is situated at an old quarry. | |
It is believed the ground gave way and the digger fell into a gully and became partially submerged in water. | |
The Health and Safety Executive is at the scene on the Derrygonnelly Road to try to establish exactly what happened. | |
The emergency services were called to the facility at about 1600 BST on Tuesday. | |
The fire and rescue service used ropes and pullys to hoist Mr Marshall from his cab. | |
He was then taken to the Erne Hospital with serious injuries. | |
The waste and recycling facility is owned and operated by Fermanagh District Council. | |
It has been open for two years and is used by people across the county. | |
Alex Baird, the chairman of Fermanagh District Council, issued a statement saying they were "devastated by this terrible accident". | |
The council said it would work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure that a full and proper investigation into what happened is carried out. | |
An investigation has also been launched by the police. |
