 Logger Albert Hill A logger trapped by a fallen tree in Placer County used a pocket knife to cut through his left leg. Albert Hill, 66, was trapped nearly 12 hours on Friday after a logging accident on Big Dipper Road in the isolated mountain community of Iowa Hill. "He had a cell phone that couldn't get out and he started cutting his own leg off," said longtime friend Cathy Morgan. Hill had nearly severed his leg by the time a prospector looking for gold nearby heard his cries for help. "He was in a position where he could not move four inches. I mean he was stuck," said the prospector, who asked that his name not be used. The prospector and another man were able to use Hill's chainsaw to remove the tree. A helicopter flew Hill to Sutter Roseville Medical Center where doctors completed the amputation below the left knee. Hill declined an interview request from News10, but a friend said he's doing well. "He's in good spirits, so that's the main thing," said Tanya Roberts. Original Article |
