A 55-year-old man was seriously injured on Friday after falling three metres from a ladder while working on the feria lighting in Vélez-Málaga.
The incident occurred at around 13:45 in calle Canalejas in the historic centre of the town. The ladder apparently broke and the man fell, hitting his back and head. He was taken to the Regional Hospital in Málaga and is suffering lung problems and lack of movement in his legs.
