Bakersfield - The Bakersfield man injured by shrapnel in August's PG&E implosion has left Kaiser Hospital in Fresno.

Jerry Wood's attorney Dennis Thelen says Wood left the hospital Tuesday and was sent back to California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. Wood developed an infection, which doctors say is now under control.

Wood suffered severe leg injuries August 3rd when the old PG&E power plant's planned implosion on Rosedale Highway shot metal shrapnel across Coffee Road, striking him in the legs.

It's not clear when Wood will be back in Bakersfield.

His attorney says doctors are waiting on muscle transfer procedures to heal before more bone grafting is done.
