Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on April 7, 2010, a logging crew was cutting timber on a property off Hwy 85 in Ohio County, Kentucky. Employee #1 and Employee #2, two loggers, were working together. Employee #1 was cutting trees with a chainsaw, and Employee #2 was operating a skidder. As Employee #2 took a load of timber to the landing, Employee #1 was cutting down a gum tree. The gum tree fell into a leaning tree, which caused the gum tree to kick back and strike the logger. Employee #1 died at the site from blunt force injuries.
