A construction worker fell 2.5 meters in a flat at the Christinastraat in Eindhoven.

He had placed a ladder on a small platter between the stairs and a window in the portal. The cause of the accident is unknown.
Two ambulances arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Later a trauma helicopter was also called in to bring a doctor to the scene. At the parking place Kriekampen along the A58 between Best and Oirschot the helicopter landed, so that the doctor could step over to assist the ambulance staff.
