Incident on Jun 19, 2020 (fatal): Line clearance worker is struck and killed by falling tree
At 11:00 a.m. on June 19, 2020, an employee was working for a tree service. He was part of a crew the firm had sent to perform line-clearance tree trimming around some overhead power lines. They were removing dead standing trees near the power lines. A tree they felled struck a second tree, which fell on top of the employee, pinning and killing him. The tree that fell on the employee was 23 meters (75 feet) tall. The employee suffered a blunt force head injury, and his right arm was pinned under the tree. He was killed.
