On June 27, 2011, Employee #1, a tree cutter, was falling a small clump of maples. An alder tree, 52 feet behind him, had broken off 14 feet from the ground and was leaning on itself, causing the natural break to be invisible to Employee #1. As he felled the trees, the broken alder snapped and fell on him. He sustained multiple injuries, including a broken left arm, broken ribs, bruised spleen, and a partially collapsed lung. He was hospitalized for treatment. | |||||||
