Investigation Summary
At 12:18 p.m. on February 3, 2017, an employee was working with a Deere 50D mini excavator pushing a trunk over from an 87 foot tall pine tree. The employee stopped work on that trunk and went to another trunk and started to expose the root ball. Coworkers saw the original tree leaning towards the employee and yelled to him. The employee began backing away from the falling tree, left the ROP cab of the excavator, and was immediately struck by the tree trunk. The employee was killed when hit by the trunk.
