A 73-year-old man was rushed to Bremerton's Harrison Medical Center with life-threatening injuries after he fell down a 30-foot shaft at a construction site this afternoon.

Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews responded to a 911 call at a commercial oyster processing plant under construction on Misery Point in Seabeck at 1:15 p.m., said fire spokeswoman Theresa MacLennan.

The man was unconscious when he was pulled from the shaft. MacLennan said he was helping build the plant.
