A PENSIONER was rushed to hospital after falling off a roof in Colchester.
The 72-year-old man was on the roof of a house in Causton Road when he fell just before midday today.
The air ambulance landed on a field between the property and Castle Park so the paramedic and doctor onboard could provide expert medical care along with paramedics in a land ambulance and rapid response car.
He was taken to Colchester General Hospital with non life threatening injuries after falling about ten feet.
