Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue
was dispatched to a vehicle off the road.
On arrival it was discovered that
a unloaded log truck had left the road
at a high rate of speed and crashed ito the trees. The truck came to
rest at a
steep angle in deep brush. Chainsaws had to be used to gain access to
the truck.
The driver was still inside the cab and suffering from a large laceration
on his forehead,
a broken right arm, and possible rib fractures and internal injuries.
The terrain made extrication difficult as you can see in the pictures.
