Investigation Summary
At 2:30 p.m. on May 14, 2020, an employee, foreman of a tree trimming crew, was in a tree, cutting branches in a remote, wooded residential area in Carmel Valley. The branches were to be lowered by rope to the ground. One branch broke and fell before the cut was complete. As the branch fell, the rope, attached to the branch, struck his leg and caused an unspecified injury. The employee was hospitalized.
