Tree Branch in Central Park Falls, Injures Man
Breaking News: a large tree branch fell in Central Park, hitting a pedestrian, at approximately 8:00 am. The man was walking in the park near the 63rd-64th Street entrance when the branch broke off and fell on his head. Paramedics and police promptly arrived to the scene, and after about 15 minutes, took him to a hospital, where he seemed to be in serious condition.
Update: According to CBS 2 Online, the 30-year-old man went into cardiac arrest and is now in a coma at the hospital. He is currently listed in critical condition at Cornell Medical Center.
I ran past this this morning and was wondering what was going on. I could see the branch and surmised that that was what had happened, but thanks for the confirmation. Found you through MUG this morning, great site, thanks so much.
