TWO cameramen have been injured after falling from a cherrypicker at a racecourse. 

Their conditions are not yet known but the race has been abandoned after emergency services raced to Hamilton Park Racecourse this afternoon. 

They were working for RacingTV which broke news of the incident live on air. 

A presenter said: "Emergency services are currently at the scene attending to the two injured guys.

"We don't know much more than that, we can't speculate but our thoughts go out to them and their families."

Another presenter told how one man was understood to have fallen off the cherrypicker - which he said was bent at an angle  - onto the roof of a truck. 

He was taken to hospital after receiving medical attention at the grounds. 

He added that two ambulances, two fire engines, two emergency response vehicles and one police vehicle were present at the scene. 

A police spokeswoman said: "At around 1.50pm on Tuesday, June 29, police were called to a report of two men falling from a mobile platform at Hamilton Race Course.

"Emergency services are in attendance and one man has been taken to Wishaw General Hospital for treatment. The second man is currently being treated at the scene.

"Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident."

A fire service spokeswoman added: "We were alerted at 1.35pm on Tuesday, June 29 to an incident at Hamilton Park Racecourse, Hamilton.

“Operations Control mobilised two appliances to the scene and using an aerial rescue pump firefighters rescued two male casualties who had fallen onto the roof of a vehicle before handing them into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service.

“Crews left the scene after ensuring the area was made safe and there were no further reported casualties.” 

The Scottish Ambulance Service said it was not able to provide any further detail on the injuries sustained by either man.
