Hochtief employee injured in fall at Glendoe hydro plant

A man has been injured in a fall at the construction of the £126m hydro plant at Glendoe in the Highlands.

The man is reported to have broken both his legs in the fall.

Emergency services were called to the site at 5.30am today. Scottish and Southern Energy confirmed that the man worked for main contractor Hochtief.

The accident follows a fatal incident last month, when a 46-year-old man, also a Hochtief employee, died in a forklift accident during the construction of a dam.
