TRUCK ROLLOVER
Terry Gilder was trapped
inside this pickup which he had been working on before taking it
for a test drive late Sunday afternoon, May 24. He lost control
of the truck on the muddy road near his home. It veered off of
CR 459 near the intersection of CR 471, rolled over a fence and
into a cow pasture. DeLeon volunteer firemen were called to
bring their vehicle rescue implement to free Gilder. Above they
are seen cutting through the right door posts and roof supports
allowing the truck roof to be bent down flat to the ground.
Gilder suffered a cracked vertebra in his lower back and was
transported to and hospitalized overnight in Comanche County
Medical Center. He is expected to be transported to another
hospital for further treatment. His injury is not life or
paralysis threatening, however, and doctors project good chances
for recovery. |
