A man has been injured in an “industrial incident” on a street in Nantwich, police have said.

Emergency services including police, paramedics, air ambulance and fire crews are on the scene in Bishop’s Wood, in Nantwich.

It’s thought the accident happened when the victim was involved in utilities work for SP Energy Networks in Bridle Hey.

A Cheshire Police spokesperson said they were called at around 1.40pm to the incident.

“The incident has been reporter to the Health and Safety Executive.”

One witness said there was a “large police, paramedic and fire brigade turn out” as well as SP Energy Networks van on the scene.

In a statement, SP Energy Networks said: “We can confirm a serious incident has occurred in the Nantwich area this afternoon.

“A full investigation into the incident is under way and it would therefore be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
