2008 Dam Bridge crash survivor still waits on help
Dec 18th, 2020 | Category: Special Reports | 3:28#Gleaner #DamBridge #Portland DECEMBER 18, 2020: Linford Jackson, a farmer, who was pinned underneath a market truck for the better part of 6 hours during a horrific truck accident on December 19, 2008, now walks with a limp and is unable to actively assume his livelihood. It was 12 years ago that Jackson also pleaded for a medical nurse, Rackell Wilson, to cut off his leg, as the excruciating pain felt by him was unbearable while lying underneath the weight of a 30 feet market truck, which plunged over a precipice at Dam Bridge in the Rio Grande Valley of Portland.
