Emergency crews successfully rescued a tree company worker trapped under an overturned spider lift on Tuesday morning August 27th near Port Republic, Maryland on the Western Shores south west of Washington DC.
The incident occurred alongside Battle Creek, a heavily wooded area to the east of the town, where the arborist was working on trees along a boardwalk when the lift somehow rolled down the slope towards the creek, trapping him under part of the machine.
Emergency workers were able to extract him from the machine and given the severity of his injuries and location decided to airlift him to the nearest hospital with a Trauma centre.
