He moved forward and cut the other tree so that it would start falling. He then moved about 15 feet to his right and was looking up watching the trees fall when one of the trees uprooted and knocked down a 4 to 5 foot pine sapling. The sapling struck the employee in the left side of his face, causing instant death.
