A workman was rushed to hospital after falling 20ft from a crane.

Clubbers arriving at Ikon and Diva near the County Mall in Crawley last night watched in horror as the 40-year-old, who was carrying out maintenance work, tumbled to the ground.

He suffered head and back injuries and was taken to East Surrey Hospital, Redhill.

Fire and ambulance crews arrived at 10pm.

A spokesman for Crawley fire station said: "It was initially feared he was trapped but this turned out not to be the case."
