EDEN LAKE TOWNSHIP (WJON News) -- A Montgomery man was airlifted to St. Cloud Hospital after falling from a roof Friday morning.

The Stearns County Sheriff's Office responded to a medical call in the 18000 block of Browns Lake Road north of Eden Valley just before 11:00 a.m.

Deputies arrived on scene and learned 35-year-old Daniel Fredin was standing on a steel roof and using a garden hose to clean out the gutters when he slipped and fell onto a concrete walkway.

Witnesses say Fredin tried to catch himself but fell approximately 12 feet to the ground.

The sheriff's office was assisted by the Paynesville Police Department, Eden Valley Fire Department, North Memorial Air Care, and CentraCare Ambulance-Paynesville.
