A LOGGER working in the interior at Puruni Backdam, Mazuruni, was pinned for several hours under an overturned tractor Wednesday night on a hill. Reports said the logger, Phagee Edward, was driving a tractor down a steep hill at Puruni when he lost control of the machine and it toppled over.

One of his legs was pinned to the ground by the tractor, and he was there for several hours before he was rescued by other loggers at about 22:30 hrs.
He was rushed to the Bartica Regional Hospital, and later to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, suffering from a crushed left leg.
