After suffering injuries in a fall from a ladder in west Lawrence, one person was flown to a Kansas City area hospital Monday afternoon.
Chief Mark Bradford, of Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical, said he did not believe the person’s injuries were life threatening.
Fire and medical workers responded about 3:30 p.m. to the medical emergency call at a residence in the 1600 block of Alvamar Drive.
Shortly after that, a LifeStar air ambulance transported the patient from near the intersection of Bob Billings Parkway and Kasold Drive, the dispatcher said at 3:50 p.m.
Further details including the patient’s name were unavailable Monday.
