HOLLAND, Mich. — First responders freed a woman trapped by a tree branch Thursday at a park in Holland.
Firefighters and police were called to VanRaalte Farm Park around 2:10 p.m. They found a 25-year-old woman partially submerged in the river with her leg pinned to the ground by a branch.
According to the Holland Public Safety Department, the woman and her boyfriend had been sitting on a downed tree branch. When the couple stood up, the branch rolled, knocking the woman over and pinning her leg.
A chainsaw was used to cut the branch, so first responders could lift it and free the woman.
The couple was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, including cold exposure due to time spent in the river.
