NORTHUMBERLAND, UK (14 Aug 2005) -- A dive boat propeller cut off a scuba diver's left leg and severely injured his right leg. The 29-year-old male diver from Loughborough was scuba diving near the Farne Islands off north Northumberland when the accident happened. Other divers rescued the critically injured diver and rushed him to shore at Seahouses aboard a high-speed inflatable where a trauma doctor and two physicians on holiday treated his wounds. A coastguard spokesman said the diver "...suffered horrific injuries to both legs." The diver was evacuated by helicopter to Newcastle General Hospital. Police and the coastguard are investigating the accident. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
