Ladysmith Aug.2010 508.jpg

Near Comox,Vancouver Island

Line up of vehicles and emergency equipment on the closed highway near Comox.The truck involved in the single vehicle accident had drifted off the road towards the centre meridian,hit a concrete divider and went airborn.Unfortunately for him,but fortunately for other vehicles,where this happened there is a small bridge with a 20-30 foot drop down into a ravine.His truck ended up at the bottom of the ravine.Getting him out proved to be a challenge...getting the truck out will be a greater challenge I'm sure.Bring in the big crane.The helicopter waits here on the road waiting to rush the critically injured trucker to hospital.

Luckily no one else was hurt and hopefully he'll be OK too.

Gosh, I hope he lived. When you see a helicopter, it is very, very serious! Great photojournalism.
