The boy hit by the falling tree was transported under code red to the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo.
How many times do we see video clips on the web with operations, even clumsy ones, in wooded areas. Think of pruning, the “finishing” that is done on trees in the garden. Unfortunately, fortuitous and inconsequential episodes happen, but there are also others in which those who are working are the worst off. This time, the news concerns a young man who was intervening on a tree which, fortunately, did not crush him completely. But it was very close, according to the scene that appeared before those who rescued the boy.
A 23-year-old young man was seriously injured in this unfortunate incident work accident in the mountain municipality of Valgoglio, in the province of Bergamo. The accident occurred this morning, Tuesday 18 June, just before 10am, precisely at 9.43am.
The boy was in one wooded area, described by rescuers as “impervious and difficult to reach”. It was in a mountain pasture area, near an Enel power plant. The young man, probably a woodsman, how expert it is not yet possible to understand, was hit directly by a trunk while pruning a plant on high ground.
It is therefore an accident during a “correction” operation in an essentially agricultural context. The boy, whose name has not yet been revealed, reported a head injury. Luckily he is alive, but he will have to recover and rest a lot after this bad mountain adventure.
The emergency call promptly reached the rescuers, who intervened immediately. Her conditions they immediately appeared very serious. Rescuers from the Regional Emergency and Urgency Agency (Areu), the Valbondione Alpine Rescue teams, the air ambulance and the fire brigade arrived on site, assisting the victim of this bad injury and transferring her.
The boy hit by the tree was transported to code red at the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo. The Carabinieri from the Clusone unit also intervened to carry out the necessary checks to clarify the dynamics of the accident. The exact circumstances of what happened are still being reconstructed, but it is hypothesized that it was a distraction, perhaps a small careless gesture, an unforeseen event on the part of the boy.
