Woodworker suffers neck injury in forest, airlifted by helicopter for medical attention

In the heart of the Mornese area, an unexpected incident unfolded in the afternoon. A 68-year-old man, who was working in a forest, suffered a severe injury after being struck by a branch.

The man was quickly attended to by emergency services, who launched a helicopter rescue mission to transport him to the nearest hospital near me. The destination of the helicopter was Santi Antonio e Biagio Hospital in Alessandria, a journey that would prove crucial for the man's recovery.

The man was transported with a 'yellow' code, signalling an emergency situation, and he was severely injured in his neck. Upon arrival at the hospital, he was promptly attended to by the medical team.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with working in forested areas. Our thoughts are with the man and his family during this challenging time.

Stay safe, and remember to always prioritise your wellbeing when engaging in outdoor activities.
