Man Injured Falling From Tree In Wayland

WAYLAND, MA — A man in his 40s fell out of a tree and suffered serious injuries, Wayland fire officials said.

Fire Chief Neil McPherson said the fall happened around 1:45 p.m., Saturday. He said the man was in the tree working at a house when he fell 15 feet and landed in an embankment.

McPherson said the embankment made extricating the man difficult, but with help from the Lincoln Fire Department, they were able to get the man to safety and transport him to town hall. From there, he was airlifted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

The condition of the man is not known at this time, but McPherson said the injuries required surgery.
