Worker falls from tree to garage roof in Buffalo Grove, 5/21/15

<

This is from Larry Shapiro:

On May 21, 2015, firefighters from Buffalo Grove were called to 271 Lincoln Terrace after a tree worker fell from a crane approximately 30 to 40 feet above a detached garage. The worker had climbed up with the crane to reach a high branch, tied it off, and was in the process of cutting when he somehow lost his balance and plummeted onto the roof below.

Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene and carefully secured the injured worker on a backboard before placing him into a Stokes basket. They then lowered him to the ground for transport to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

Here are some photos from the incident, along with a short video capturing the rescue efforts.
