That sure was his lucky day to be completely run over and pinned under a vehicle. Thank you to the individuals on scene that removed him from under the vehicle. I hope he did not sustain any serious injuries. Get well soon friend.
Reported as he was under the vehicle when rolled over him. If he was not working on a vehicle, how is the cat on the car he was under. Need more info on why hiding the type of rig he was under.
Your comment makes no sense to me. Where was the cat on the car? They were hiding the vehicle he was under?
I presume from my red thumbs down someone does not like the worker or the folks that removed him from under the vehicle. You also don’t want him to get well soon?
I always cringe when I read about accidents where bystanders extricate victims from the vehicle. I always have “C-spine precautions!” screaming in my head. Unless there’s actual flames observed or the victim has no clear airway or an absence of vital signs, there is little need to rush in and rescue. Injuries can be exacerbated and if there is a spinal fracture, the damage can be irreparable. I can only hope rescuers had first aid training in this case and I wish the victim well.
