A person was taken to hospital following an industrial accident near Boroughbridge on Tuesday.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service today said the incident was reported just after 10pm on April 30.

A spokesperson said the ambulance was dispatched to a unit in the Becklands Close area of Roecliffe.

One patient was “conveyed to hospital”, they added.

The Stray Ferret also contacted North Yorkshire Police about the incident.

A police spokesperson said it received reports of an “industrial” incident but added it was not believed anyone suffered “life-threatening injuries”.

The spokesperson said a police investigation has not been launched.

We also approached the Health and Safety Executive for further information. A spokesperson said:

“At this stage, HSE does not have an active role as the incident has not been officially reported to us through the reporting of injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations (RIDDOR)”.

The incident comes just over a month after a man died in an industrial accident at the Macadam garage in Ripon.
