A Pittsburgh tree-trimmer is recovering after he was rushed to a hospital with a chainsaw blade embedded in his neck.
James Valentine was in a tree on Tuesday when he was struck in the neck by the chainsaw. Another worker helped him down, and his co-workers left the saw in place to try to limit the bleeding. Valentine had emergency surgery.
Doctors say the saw missed major arteries and, instead, cut into muscle. A hospital released an x-ray yesterday showing the saw still in the 21-year-old's neck. Valentine works for a tree removal service. Its owner, Dominic Migliozzi, calls the rescue "amazing".
