Employee killed when struck by falling log

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on September 2, 1995, Employee #1 was wrapping a load of logs before moving his truck. He had thrown a wrapper over the logs and was attempting to place it around the right front bunk to create a strip wrapper. As he pulled on the wrapper, the outside top log rolled off the load, striking Employee #1 in the left chest and abdomen and knocking him to the ground. The chaser heard the log fall and turned to see Employee #1 sitting on the ground. He ran to his aid and started CPR while coworkers called for assistance. The Yoncalla Fire Department maintained CPR and transported Employee #1 to Douglas County Hospital, Roseburg, OR, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
