A woman who fell 30 feet through Central Pier onto the beach is still in hospital, police have confirmed. Emergency services were called and onlookers rushed to helped after a woman, in her 50s, appeared to fall through a section of the pier at around 4.30pm yesterday. We called to an incident at the pier after reports that a patient had fallen approximately 30 feet through the pier. A woman in her 50s received initial treatment for her injuries before being extricated and taken to the hospital. The woman has been taken to hospital with injuries. At 16:33, the team was called out after an individual sustained injuries in a fall at central pier. The team supported North West Air Ambulance Charity paramedics who arrived by road from their base at Blackpool airport and Blackpool beach patrol, before extracting the casualty on our stretcher with the help of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service to an ambulance where they were taken to the next level of care. We wish the person involved a speedy recovery.
