About Me

My photo
Durham, NC, United States
As a photojournalist my principal interests are spot news, fires, etc. I also like to see the humor in everyday situations. In my 42 years as a photojournalist I have seen a lot of people die. First, during the Salvadoran Civil War, and since then, on some of the 'mean streets' of my adopted hometown......still, a great little town all the same!

Man rescued after falling into sinkhole !!!

Redwood firefighters received a bizarre call early Sunday morning about a man who had apparently fallen into a large sinkhole on Redwood Rd. late Saturday night. Trapped, and suffering from hypothermia it took them about twenty minutes to extract the victim using a ladder and a 'Stokes' basket. The victim also suffered leg injuries, and bumps and bruises. He  was transported to Duke Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
