A worker sustained serious injuries following a reported fall Monday evening at the Rogers Group Sand Quarry along Highway 61 in the Blair Community.

Emergency responders, including the Blair Volunteer Fire Department and Anderson County Ambulance Service, arrived at the scene shortly after 6:00 PM. Paramedics transported the patient to an awaiting LifeStar air medical helicopter stationed at the former Tri-County Shopping Center parking lot in Oliver Springs, from which the victim was airlifted to a Knoxville hospital.

Authorities have not yet released the exact circumstances of the incident or the current condition of the worker.
