When trees attack, graphic pics

[Coal Reaper]

Friend from work had a tree fall on car last night in storm and branch went into his leg and just about through the other side. Surgery this afternoon. What kind of wood?

 

[DuelburnJake]

Ouch! That's quite a flesh wound! Hope everything turns out well! I had a tree fall on my truck, glad I wasn't in it!

 

[Bacffin]

That's bad. I hope he can gain full use of it again.

That is one nasty wound. His leg will be messed up for a long time. I once had a limb come down on an ambulance I was driving. Like any other MVA, this is very stressful. You can ride around town and find trees with dead limbs overhanging the roads almost anywhere. Several trees down on homes in this area during the past 48 hours with all these thunder storms. Thousands lost power.
Hope your friend has insurance and a good recovery.

man he is lucky he got away with his life. Hope he gets through it and turns out ok.

Holy cats!! Man that is a freak accident; it's bad but I guess it could've been worse-still that is bizarre!

I hope he has a fast recovery and all is good! Wow.....

What kind of wood? Something with a "bad ass attitude"!

 

[Blue2ndaries]

Ouch! Prayers for a speedy and full recovery.

That's gotta be red maple...

I was thinking more like hack-berry

 

[Backwoods Savage]

That for sure is really nasty. I'd say he was lucky but I'm betting he does not feel lucky. We wish him well.

 

[Realstone]

Hope it doesn't affect his walking long term. Looks like a lot of muscle tissue is torn.

 

[WellSeasoned]

Oh man, thats horrific

Wooden stakes are for Vampires.
Man I feel for your buddy and his leg, wish him the best !

 

[JOHN BOY]

Wow....man i am so sorry for your friend , lots of prayers coming . Looks like the muscle was severed and pushed bad

 

[Paulywalnut]

Ouch! Do you really want a wood ID? Red wood. Hope he heals up with no problems.

 

[osagebow]

Ouch! I agree with John boy - looks like a long tough road back. I wish him the best.

Gotta be Musclewood.

holey chit

 

[Coal Reaper]

Thanks guys. Its a shame as he is very active with recreational sports and bird hunting. Dude is not even a wood burner. Real quad buster right there...

 

[Lumber-Jack]

Yeesh!
That one is gona take a while to heal. BS is right, he's lucky it didn't sever a main artery.
Hope the surgery goes well for him.

Wishing him the best for a speedy recovery.

That is one nasty wound. Hoping he makes a full recovery. Wishing him the best.

Happened two minutes after leaving home, his fiance was driving. Just missed artery and bounced off femur. Severed 2.5 quad muscles. Wound still open, should be closing it up after another surgery tomorrow.

 

[swagler85]

Wow freak accident, that is a nasty wound

 

[Coal Reaper]

Yeah. The impact pushed an air bubble under the knee cap. They are exploring that tomorrow to see if debris came in with the air as well as going over everything else again that they already cleaned. Got him on heavy antibiotics. Hopefuly he dont come down with an infection.

 

[Gasifier]

I hope your friend heals well coal reaper. Glad he is in good medical care. Everytime I see something like that I think how fortunate we all are to live at a time when we have the medical facilities we have, the doctors and nurses we have, the pain medicine we have, the. ..........
