Investigation Summary
On November 6, 2006, a crew was yarding pieces of a tree that had been felled earlier in the day. The foreman and one employee stood on the south side of a 65-in.-tall stone wall that bordered a grave yard. The two of them tossed logs over the wall to two other employees. As one of the logs was tossed over the wall, Employee #1 was struck in the face. He then fell backwards, striking his head on a log that was on the ground. Employee #1 suffered a contusion and laceration to his face and became semi-conscious. He was airlifted to Washington County Hospital as a precaution to check for head trauma. He was released later that day.
