Man left with 'life-changing injuries' following works accident at storage firm

A man has suffered 'life-changing injuries' following a works accident in Salford.

Police were called to The Store Room, in Eccles New Road, at 6.14pm on Monday evening.

One casualty, a man in his 20s, was taken to Salford Royal Hospital.

It is understood that his injuries were 'life-changing'.

The nature of the incident is not yet clear, but it is understood that police are not treating it as suspicious.

A HGV remained taped off outside The Store Room (MEN)

Photos from the scene yesterday appeared to show a number of forensics officers in the car park of the storage firm.

A post on social media had claimed incorrectly that a number of bodies were being brought out of the back of a lorry at the scene.

A spokesman for The Store Room said: "I can confirm that tweet is definitely not the case. It's a police matter."

Police were still at the scene on Tuesday afternoon, with officers guarding a HGV which had been taped off.

A spokesman for the North West Ambulance Service said: "We were called to an incident where somebody had collapsed.

"We sent a number of resources to the scene including a rapid response vehicle and an ambulance.

"We took one patient to Salford Royal Hospital by land ambulance.

"They seemed to be in quite a serious condition.

"It was a male in his 20s."

Greater Manchester Police have been approached for further information.
