A worker at an industrial site in Jacobs was hospitalised yesterday (Sunday, 10 September) after he was injured by a falling steel pipe.
At about 3.40pm, Netcare 911 responded to reports of a serious injury which was sustained when a heavy steel pipe apparently fell about two-and-a-half metres before it struck the man.
The cause of the incident will be investigated.
