Man Pinned to ground by Tree Branch at Dungog

BY JESSICA ROUSE

A man is recovering in the John Hunter Hospital after being pinned to the ground by a 200kg tree branch.

The 54-year-old was reportedly chopping the branch at an Alison property, south east of Dungog yesterday afternoon when it fell on him, pinning him to the ground.

The Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter responded to the incident at about 2:50pm.

He was treated for a serious pelvic injury and possible internal injuries and was flown to hospital.

He remains in a serious but stable condition.
