Fingers severed in crawler crane accident…

Minnesota man loses fingers as crawler crane tips over.

A Laporte man was transported to the Bemidji hospital Monday afternoon when the crawler crane he was doing demolition work on tipped, pinning him temporarily.

There was no immediate condition on David Corson, 45. Eyewitnesses at the scene said after being rushed to Sanford Hospital, emergency crews used a pry bar to locate one of the work gloves Corson was wearing at the time of the accident. It contained his severed fingers.

The glove was also rushed to the hospital in hopes the fingers could be surgically attached.
