Tree Trimmer Injured After Falling Branch in Evanston
On Saturday afternoon, a shocking incident occurred when a tree trimmer was severely injured after a massive tree branch collapsed onto him in Evanston. The accident happened around 3 p.m. in the 2700 block of Princeton Avenue.
According to reports from abc7chicago.com, the worker was knocked unconscious by the falling branch and ended up dangling high up in the large tree. Fire officials stated that the victim was stuck more than 20 feet above the ground. Emergency services quickly arrived on the scene and managed to transport the critically injured man to an Evanston hospital for urgent medical care.
The situation was further detailed by Tim Olk, who shared photos of the incident. He noted that Skokie firefighters provided assistance to the Evanston firefighters as they worked together to safely rescue the trapped tree service worker from the precarious position within the towering tree.
Attached are several images captured by Tim Olk, showcasing the intense response effort from the Evanston Fire Department. These photos highlight the complexity of the rescue operation and the dedication of the first responders involved.
This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by professionals working in tree maintenance and the importance of strict safety protocols in such high-risk environments. My thoughts are with the injured worker and his family during this difficult time.
