Rod May had taken his tractor to the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and reach the middle-aged man who had been clinging to the branches of a tree in the rising waters on Sunday night. The man had driven into the flooded river, escaped from his car and ca led emergency services from his ce lphone which he managed to keep with him. Ultimately, a second helicopter winch operation plucked the man to safety after he was swept downstream. It was a happy ending to the ordeal which had lasted more than three hours. The rescue was among several in Canterbury on Sunday in flooded rivers. May said he and his family had just had dinner when a neighbour alerted them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw the floodwaters were too high for the tractor, however, he used its lights for i luminating the site where the man was. • Turn to page 5 Young Christie makes the big time Page 13 GET CONNECTED WITH Scorch Broadband 0800 726 724 www.scorch.co.nz ‘We really thought it was the end for the poor bugger’ • By Susan Sandys HAWKINS RIVER RESCUE Sunstrike?
