The Daily News has the complete story on the tree branch that fell on a man in Carroll Park yesterday. Justin Calicchio, 23, was playing dodgeball with his friends when he was knocked out by a falling broken branch.
Calicchio had a neck brace on and was awaiting X-rays last night, he said. He is believed to have suffered back injuries, paramedics said.
A “traumatized” Calicchio said he was happy to be alive and thanked his rescuers, who told him he was inches away from more serious injuries.
Tree branch falls on man in Carroll Park
This in from the 76th Precinct:
At approximately 4:40 pm this afternoon, a large tree branch fell from a tree inside Carroll Park. The branch fell in the vicinity of the the World War I memorial, on the Carroll Street side of the park. 1 man received what we believe are very minor injuries, and was removed to the hospital for evaluation. Fortunately, no other people were injured, and there were no serious injuries. Specialists from the Parks Department are already on the scene evaluating the condition of that tree, as well as all of the other trees in the park, and will take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of park-goers.
