A Caribbean Airlines (CAL) pilot is in a serious yet stable condition at hospital after an incident at Pigeon Point, Tobago.

Christon Battersby, 26, hit his head last Saturday after he jumped off the Pigeon Point jetty.

Battersby, of St Joseph, is recovering at the Scarborough General Hospital. According to reports, around 11.30 a.m., Battersby was at the Pigeon Point jetty with some friends when they decided to jump off the jetty. Battersby jumped into the water first and on doing so he hit his head on an object in the water. He was knocked unconscious and rushed to shore. CPR was rendered to him until emergency personnel arrived on the scene.

He was rushed to the Scarborough General and, after an assessment, medical personnel said he appeared to be paralysed from the neck down.

Police interviewed Dr Mahal and Dr Oben, while officer Scotland Celestine is continuing enquiries.
