Employee killed when struck by tree falling from loader

At approximately 12:25 p.m. on July 26, 1996, a logging crew was working on a hardwood timber tract harvesting oak, cherry, hickory, and gum. Once limbed, a knuckle boom log loader would place the trees on one of two trailers that were sitting approximately 40 in. apart at the ramp. Employee #1 was driving a Mack truck with one of the attached log trailers. His load was nearly complete when a 43 ft long limbed gum tree fell between the two parked trailers. The tree struck Employee #1, who was crushed and killed.
