A person who went to the forest to collect linden blossoms in Karacabey district of Bursa was seriously injured after falling from a tree. 54-year-old Vural Ala, whose family started searching for him when he didn't return home, was found injured in the forest. Vural Ala, who fell from a tree, had courageously climbed a tree during a shoot in the linden forests last week.
THEIR TRACTOR WAS FOUND FIRST DURING THE SEARCH
The incident occurred yesterday evening in Ekmekçi Neighborhood, Karacabey district. According to the information obtained, Vural Ala left his home and went to the wooded area near the neighborhood to collect linden blossoms. Unable to reach Vural Ala, who did not return home for a long time and was unreachable by phone, his relatives grew worried and initiated a search in the forest. During the search, the family first found Vural Ala's tractor and expanded their search around the area. After a while, Vural Ala was found motionless in the wooded area.
HEALTH CONDITION IS SERIOUS
Upon the notification, health teams were dispatched to the scene. Based on initial assessments, it was believed that Vural Ala fell from the tree he had climbed to collect linden blossoms. After the first intervention by health teams at the scene, the injured Vural Ala was taken by ambulance to Karacabey State Hospital. Following the treatment there, as his health condition remained critical, Ala was referred to Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Hospital for further treatment.
HE HAD BEEN IN THE NEWS LAST WEEK WHILE CLIMBING TREES
It emerged that in the news about the linden harvest last week, Ala was seen climbing a tree, and in the interview, he said, 'I have been doing this job for 35-40 years. We go up because we trust ourselves. Of course, we need to be careful when climbing a tree. If we didn't trust ourselves, we wouldn't be able to climb up here. After the ladder, our skill kicks in. It's somewhat a family trade.'
