A MAN who fell around 10 metres from a ladder at a paper mill in Kent was flown to a London hospital for treatment.

The accident happened on Wednesday morning at the M-Real Paper's New Thames Mill in Kemsley, near Sittingbourne.

Firefighters and an ambulance crew arrived to help, but the Kent Air Ambulance was called to take him to the Royal London Hospital for treatment.

The man, in his 60s, is not an employee of the mill, but a maintenance worker.
