A man continues to recover on Tuesday after he was rushed to a hospital in Pittsburgh on Monday with a chainsaw lodged in his neck following a tree-cutting accident in Ross Township, Pa.

James Valentine, an employee with Adler Tree Service, was working in a tree when his chainsaw kicked back and hit him in the neck, police said. The accident happened about 2:30 p.m.

Medics left the chain saw in Valentine’s neck as they transported him to the hospital.

“He was up in the tree. The crew got him down right away. It’s amazing what they did. They’re a good crew. It’s just an unfortunate accident,” said Dominic Migliozzi, with Adler Tree Service.

Paramedics said Valentine was out of surgery and doing well.
