A man suffered critical injuries after falling over 20 feet off a Grayson County church.

The Anneta Fire Department and EMS responded to the incident Saturday afternoon at approximately 1:45 at St. Anthony Catholic Church at 1256 St. Anthony Road.

Upon first responders arriving at the scene, they found a 37-year-old man had fallen approximately 25 feet while performing on-going construction work on the church.

The man suffered multiple compound fractures and a serious head injury.

EMS requested the man be airlifted, but both nearby medical helicopter companies declined due to weather condition. The victim, instead, was transported by EMS to Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown.

The man’s current condition is not known.
