Greenhouse Worker Hurt in Chatham

A local greenhouse worker is fighting for her life following an industrial accident in Chatham.

Emergency crews were called to Truly Green Farms on Bloomfield Road just before 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon, rushing a 20-year-old woman to hospital.

Social media posts from family have identified the victim as UCC grad Natasha Smids, and say the woman was air-lifted to London after getting her hair caught in a piece of machinery.

The Ministry of Labour has now taken over the investigation.
