A DARFIELD farmer has<br />
spoken of watching a man leap into<br />
the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />
save himself after a helicopter winch<br />
rescue operation failed.<br />
Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />
reach the middle-aged man who had<br />
been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />
in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />
The man had driven into the<br />
flooded river, escaped from his car<br />
and ca led emergency services from<br />
his ce lphone which he managed to<br />
keep with him.<br />
Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />
winch operation plucked the man<br />
to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />
It was a happy ending to the<br />
ordeal which had lasted more than<br />
three hours. The rescue was among<br />
several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />
flooded rivers.<br />
May said he and his family had just<br />
had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />
the floodwaters were too high for the<br />
tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />
i luminating the site where the man<br />
was. • Turn to page 5<br />
