Investigation Summary
At about 12:15 p.m. on January 18, 2017, an employee was standing next to a tree that was 75 feet from the base of the tree being felled. An excavator operator was digging a hole around the base of a tree with the intention of using the excavator to push the tree over in the direction of the intended fall. When the excavator operator dug the last part of the hole, severing the last of the feeder roots holding the tree up, the tree unexpectedly fell in the direction of the employee, same basic direction where it was intended to fall. The employee was struck in the neck, shoulder, arm and leg of his left side. The employee was killed.
