A Creamfields security guard is fighting for their life after an accident at the festival site.

The staff member was helping clear up following the four-day event in Daresbury, Cheshire in the North West of England near to Liverpool and Manchester, when they were injured.

Emergency crews, including an air ambulance, rushed to the scene around 4.50pm and the patient was taken to hospital. Festivalgoers were reportedly prevented from leaving while the incident was dealt with.

Cheshire Police told the Mirror: "At 4.50pm on Monday 28 August a member of security staff at Creamfields was injured while clearing the site. Police and the local authority are investigating the circumstances of the accident. The casualty remains in a serious condition in hospital."

The Mirror has contacted North West Ambulance Service and Creamfields for further information.
