ABC Goulburn Murray - Man hospitalised after chainsaw accident

Quote:

A man was flown to the Royal Melbourne hospital yesterday afternoon, after an accident with a chainsaw near Mt Buller.

Ambulance Victoria says the 33-year-old was cutting wood on the Fork Creek Trail at Mt Stirling when the chainsaw hit his lower leg.

He severed an artery, but paramedics were able to reduce the bleeding.

Accidents with any type of Machinery, happens too quickly, if we are not paying attention. Hopefully this guy will be OK. Bruce.
