Abstract: At 2:00 p.m. on June 14, 2021, an employee was working on a crew with three coworkers for a tree care contractor cutting trees. Coworker #1 and Coworker #2 were working as tree cutters (foremen) and the employee and Coworker #3 were working as groundmen (assisting the cutters). Coworker #1 cut a tree and as it was falling the tree struck a standing tree nearby. This caused the standing tree to uproot and fall in the direction of the employee and Coworker #2 . The employee and Coworker #2 were struck by the falling uprooted tree. Coworker #1 called 911 and the employee was taken to the hospital by life flight. The employee was hospitalized with head lacerations and a broken scapula.
