WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. — A landscaper who was helping to cut down a tree at Morris County home was killed when a large limb fell on his head.
The 41-year-old Dover man, whose name was not disclosed, was working on the ground at a Washington Township home when the accident occurred at about 10 a.m. Friday.
Lt. Art Adams, a police spokesman, said the limb was about 8 inches in diameter, but it was not clear what caused it to come down. The limb fell about 50 feet and hit the man, who sustained massive head trauma.
The federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration, which is responsible for enforcing workplace safety and health regulations, will investigate the incident.
