Michael's lucky day Thurs, June 17th, 2010 as seen in Hutch News

Two men injured in porch collapse

"Two men were injured Friday evening when part of a roof they were working on collapsed at 1406 W. Second Ave.

Acting Battalion Chief Jason Holland said two men were working on the roof of the house and a third was standing on a ladder. One of the men had just stepped from the roof of the house onto the roof of the porch when the porch collapsed to the ground, also taking the man on the ladder with it, Holland said.





The man who fell from the roof, Michael Littlejohn of Haven, was flown by helicopter to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. Sgt. Bryan Stephens said Littlejohn's injuries were not life threatening. Holland said Littlejohn had been in and out of consciousness immediately after the fall, and Stephens said Littlejohn was being taken to Wesley as a precaution.

The man on the ladder, Gary Vincent of Hutchinson, suffered an ankle injury and was taken to Promise Regional Medical Center."

God was definitely protecting him that night. It's truly amazing that with the fall, and the roof falling on him, that he didn't have more serious injuries. He is still sore, but walking and breathing. Praise the Lord!
