Tree limb falls on, seriously injures Georgia firefighter

A firefighter was pinned under a tree Sunday trying to clear it from a Coweta County road.

Virginia Neill witnessed the accident on Sargent Farmer Road that injured Coweta fire Lt. Adam Moss and called 911.

“It was so heavy, they couldn't lift it off of him,” Neill told Channel 2 Action News. “So they just kept cutting on it, and he just kept crying, 'Please get this limb off of me. It's hurting.’”

Moss was taken to Atlanta Medical Center, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit. He is out of ICU and walking, fire Chief Pat Wilson told Channel 2.
