Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working with a coworker clearing a low water bridge of accumulated debris. He was using a chain saw to cut driftwood into sections that could be pushed into the river. After clearing the bridge's road surface, Employee #1 climbed down onto a bridge pier. While standing on the support pier, Employee #1 cut a log that had wedged itself against the bridge. As he cut the log, it rotated toward him. Employee #1 jumped from the pier into the river. He was unable to escape the swift water and drowned in a whirlpool approximately 100 yards downstream from the bridge.
