Family Blames Baltimore Co. For Fallen Tree Limb That Crushed Elderly Father

A man continues to fight for his life after a tree limb came crashing down, crushing him underneath its weight. Rochelle Ritchie has more on what is being done now to protect others. The family says this accident could have been avoided if their requests to have the trees cut down were taken seriously by the Baltimore County. A broken tree limb in the Rodgers Forge neighborhood nearly claimed the life of 70-year-old Don Ahern. “Broke his fibula, broke five ribs and crushed his pelvis,” said Chris Ahern.
