76-летний мужчина выжил после того, как бульдозер проехал по его ногам

OLYMPIA, Mo. (WKRC) — A 76-year-old man is recovering after being crushed by a bulldozer in a freak accident, reports KY3. The man had been driving the bulldozer up an embankment on Aug. 29 when his seat broke from the mount. He fell from the machine, and the bulldozer rolled backward, the left track crushing the man's legs. During the incident, the machine's fuel cell also broke, stopping the bulldozer from rolling back any farther, said the Olympia Rural Fire Department. Crews dug the man's legs out from under the track and transported him to a hospital, where he was treated for an ankle fracture and a crush injury to his foot. The man's son, identified as Doug Wallace, shared more information on his father's accident in a Facebook post. "Many volunteers helped dig his feet out and pulled him to safety. While they were doing this, Olympia Fire Department called in Life Support Helicopter, since they could not tell just how bad his feet were or even if his feet were still attached. My sister which has been in ER all her life said, 'They made the correct call and didn't waste time thinking about it!'" Wallace wrote. "Maybe, just maybe, this will keep dad off machinery for awhile. I'm not even sure it's been a year since his last ordeal!" Wallace added that his father had been discharged from the hospital the same day as the accident. In a follow-up post, Wallace also shared how the broken fuel cell saved his father from being crushed. "The fuel tank is [in] the seat on this type of dozer. It came loose, slid out the back of the dozer and PERFECTLY fell behind the right track of the dozer. Thus, stopping the dozer in its tracks... [Meanwhile], dad fell directly behind the dozer, and his feet went under the left tracks.... I’m guessing that another few inches it would have crushed both feet!" he shared. "What a mighty God we serve!! He chose to save dad that day!"
