Logger suffers fractures and lacerations when struck by tree

At 8:50 a.m. on December 27, 2018, an employee was working as a laborer for a logging firm. Specifically, he was working as a choker setter. He had walked uphill and was standing off to the side of a skid trail while a turn of logs was yarded toward a landing. The logs in the turn struck a small tree pole that was lying sideways in the trail. It pivoted and struck a standing dead tree, knocking that tree over. The tree struck the employee's head as it fell. The employee suffered fractured vertebrae in his neck and lacerations to his head. The employee was hospitalized.
