A skip hire company had an emergency on their hands when a member of staff got wedged between girders at their site in Horncastle, Lincolnshire.

Fire crews were called by the staff at Andrew Riddel Scrap Metal and Skip Hire Limited after the accident occurred.

According to the fire service, officers had to remove a small section of a brick wall before pulling the man from underneath the metalwork.
