Comcast worker impaled on iron fence in Aurora

Aurora fire officials say a Comcast Corp. worker has suffered at least three puncture wounds after falling 10 feet from a ladder onto an iron fence.

Aurora Fire Department officials say the antique 4-foot-tall fence had to be cut away so the man could be extracted. They say the fence's 8-inch-long stakes drove through the man's legs.

Asst. Fire Chief John Lehman says the man was working alone in the backyard of a house when he fell. He says police were nearby and came quickly.

Lehman says the man was conscious when he was taken to a hospital with injuries. He says the man is lucky because he could've landed in many different ways.
