Forestry worker suffers crush injuries after incident in Cork

A tree surgeon has been taken to hospital after suffering crush injuries in an incident in Cork this lunchtime.

The alarm was raised at around 1.30pm when the woman, who was engaged in tree felling and clearance work in a sloped area of woodland off the R618 in the Inniscarra area, close to the historic Inniscarra graveyard about three kilometres from Ballincollig, became trapped under a tree.
