OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — A man suffered multiple injuries after he fell from his roof and hit a privacy fence before landing on the ground.

Deputies say Charles Hatcher, 24, was on his roof when he suddenly fell.  The drop was about 15 feet.  His arm was impaled by a wooden fence, and part of the fence broke off in his arm.

Hatcher suffered no significant blood loss and was conscious when he was taken to the hospital.  His specific condition is unclear.
