FOWLER, Kan. (AP) - A man has been flown to a Wichita hospital with critical injuries after falling inside an empty southwest Kansas grain bin.

Meade County Sheriff Mark Miller says the worker was on a ladder at the Fowler Equity Exchange when he fell a few feet Thursday and hit his head.

KAKE-TV (https://bit.ly/1UI68vm ) reports that getting the man out of the bin was challenging. Miller says there is a point of access to the bin from the side of the elevator, but the opening is small.
