A 33-year-old man identified as a Google search expert, Sasha Blair-Goldensohn, was critically injured Wednesday after being struck in the head by a falling tree limb in Central Park.

Blair-Goldensohn has begun to show signs of consciousness and is responding to verbal commands, according to The New York Times. He reportedly was walking alone near the park entrance at West 63rd Street Wednesday morning when the 4-inch-thick oak branch fell. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Blair-Goldensohn is a natural language processing expert who identifies himself as a "High Sees Pirate" for Google on the company's Web site. He graduated with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2007.

Blair-Goldensohn was struck by a dead branch, but the rest of the tree was in healthy condition, a parks department spokesman told the Times. "We inspected the trees in the surrounding area as well as a precaution, and they were also deemed to be healthy," the spokesman said.
