Worker Dies after Being Struck by Falling Tree

On May 16, 2013, Employee #1, a truck driver, and Coworker #1, an excavation equipment operator, both employed by M&P Venture Partners L.L.C., were removing a 29-foot tree from a work site. Coworker #1 was loading the tree into the end dump when he saw that Employee #1 had come around the rear of the end dump. Employee #1 told Coworker #1 to have the tree cut in half before loading it into the end dump. However, Coworker #1 had already released the tree. The tree's root ball landed on the top of the end dump and rolled outward. Coworker #1 yelled for Employee #1 to get away. Employee #1 was struck by the falling tree. Emergency services were called, and he was transported to a local hospital, where he died.
