Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on October 30, 2014, a work crew of six co-workers were trimming and removing trees at a private residence. A rope was tied to a limb and an elevated bucket and a lowering device installed in another tree 20 feet away to control the fall of the limb. The limb fell and struck the side of a tree trunk causing the limb to spin and shatter. The falling shattered limb struck and injured two employees standing on the ground. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded. Employee #1 was flown in a helicopter to a hospital. EMS transported Employee #2 by ambulance to a hospital. Employee #2 was treated and released. Employee #1 sustained multiple traumatic injuries and died.
