Building worker seriously injured in accident

A 31-YEAR-OLD Paphos man was seriously injured in an accident early yesterday afternoon on a Paphos building site.

According to a police report, the man was found lying on the ground by a colleague at around 2pm, having apparently been flattened by a wheelbarrow containing floor-tiles.

The man was taken to Paphos General Hospital, where he was found to have suffered a contusion to the brain and a cerebral haemorrhage.

Due to his critical condition, the 31-year-old was moved to Nicosia General Hospital, where he continues to receive treatment.

The Paphos Minor Crimes Unit is looking into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
