A 20-year-old Baramita, Region One resident escaped death after he was almost crushed to death by a huge tree which came crashing down last Friday.
Courtney David is at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), nursing a broken left arm and other internal injuries, after he was pinned to the ground by a huge branch for almost one hour.
From his hospital bed, David, a gold miner told Kaieteur News that on Friday last, he was at work pulling a “line” at Baramita North West District, when the tree suddenly came crashing down on him.
“I nah know wah happen. I went pulling a line and then de tree fall on me and I went on de ground, lying down long,” the injured man recalled.
He claimed that his colleagues tried their best to lift the tree off from him but their efforts were futile.
The gold miner, who spoke in broken English, said that an excavator had to be brought from another location to remove the tree.
“They call a excavator to lift de tree from me and then they take me to a hospital and an ambulance bring me here.”
The tree fell on David’s lower body and although his injuries are not life threatening, he was told by medical practitioners that he will have to spend a long time at the hospital.
