A worker was flown to a hospital by medical helicopter after he was injured at the Pymatuning Reservoir Dam.

Assistant Pymatuning State Park Manager Sean Benson tells 21 News that the man was working on a project at the lake's gatehouse when he was struck by a three by eight foot wooden panel that fell on him at around noon Tuesday.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was said to be conscious when first responders from the Jamestown Fire Department arrived to assist him.

Benson did not have any further information on the condition of the worker.

He says crews are replacing the gates used to control the level of water on the southwestern part of the dam.
