And then there were nine …
for a while, anyway. The Ten Men in a Tent charity event lost one of its members yesterday, but it wasn’t due to the extreme heat. Radio personality Rob White was taken to hospital after he was struck on the head by a falling speaker. “A bit of a wind came up, and unfortunately the speaker blew over and it struck him right in the temple,” said Sun Media’s Niagara Falls Review publisher Dave Martineau. White, a disc jockey at 105.1 The River, was first tended to by Dr. George Zimakis– another member of the tent crew — who recommended he be taken to hospital to be checked out. While his teammates sat in the heat, White underwent a CT scan at the Greater Niagara General Hospital. He returned to the tent late in the afternoon, hooked up to an IV and with his head wrapped in bandages and gauze.
As of the afternoon, he was planning to stay – under a doctor’s care — even though his teammates would need to wake him up every two hours. Doctor’s orders.
