Incredible story on the front page of today's Rutland Herald about a Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board member who was nearly killed in what he called "a freak accident."
Jeremy Baker, 35, of Rutland dislodged a boulder estimated to be 300 pounds, which rolled over him causing serious facial injuries. Baker said that if he hadn't been accompanied by a teenager who went for help, he likely wouldn't have survived.
After being evacuated from the turkey woods and transported to Rutland Regional Medical Center, which then transferred him to Dartmouth Medical Center, Baker is on the mend.
Some 100 stitches, five staples, a fractured eye socket, broken nose and broken jaw bone, Baker is back to worrying about more important things ... like replacing many of his turkey calls that were in his vest and were destroyed by the same boulder that destroyed his face.
