Eleven-year-old Anthony Swisher of Nobe was listed in fair condition at
Women's and Children's Hospital Monday evening, according to a hospital
spokesperson. Swisher is a patient in the ICU pediatric unit.
He was air-lifted to CAMC by HealthNet following a four-wheeler accident
near White Pine Road, Sunday afternoon. Swisher was riding as a passenger.
He underwent surgery for head trauma after the four-wheeler struck a tree
and he was thrown into a creek.
The youth's head reportedly struck a rock, knocking him unconscious. The
driver of the four-wheeler, eleven-year-old Zack Wease, went to his
assistance, elevating his head above two feet of water until other help
arrived. The Wease youth escaped serious injury.
