Logger incurs multiple injuries while bucking tree

At 12:15 p.m. on April 1, 2019, Employee # 1, a sawyer, was clearing a road by bucking through a jam of ten to fifteen 135 foot downed Douglas Fir trees. As Employee # 1 was trying to cut through the log, the tension released. The resulting force of the log impacted Employee # 1 and drove him to the ground. The remaining section of log landed on the employee. He was hospitalized for two or more days. He suffered shattered teeth, a collapsed lung, multiple fractured ribs, a broken clavicle, and a fractured vertebrae.
