From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
At approximately 11:30 a.m, on Saturday, June 9, 2012, Harford County Sheriff’s Deputies and members of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company responded to a call for service in the 900 block of Holland Road regarding a subject who had suffered injuries from a fall.
Investigation revealed that Tommy Gray Kyger, 31, of Elkton, Md., an employee of Bane’s Tree and Lawn Service, had been trimming trees in front of 901 Holland Road. While trimming a tree, he fell approximately 45 feet to the ground.
He suffered critical injuries at the scene and was airlifted to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where he succumbed to those injuries shortly before 1 p.m.
Why is this breaking news?
how can u be so so cold hearted..this man was my family and for u to act a fool is crazy. if it was ur family u be all about it….he is leaving behind an 11 year old son
It is breaking new because this man was doing his job, and his job involved risk, risk he was willing to take to support his family . Its a sad story, I am sorry if for one moment it took the spotlight away from all the HCPS stuff . This is the real world , there are other things like this happening beside HCPS , Prayers go out to his family .
Look out, Omalley is bound to now ban tree-trimming.
Fergison,
You are a complete and total fool. I am sure you lack the capacity for introspection or remorse but I hope someday you can figure out that not every event is an opportunity to slam someone politically.
Prayers go out to this family in such a tragic time.
The tragedy happened very close to my home…the site is haunting…a young man lost his life, working at his craft…driving by the scene brings it all home…life is precious, some work is very dangerous, and sometimes things just ‘happen’…God rest the young man’s soul…
