In a case similar to the one reported Friday, July 7, a 58-year-old Chatfield man was removing trees in the 9,000 block of 80th Avenue SE, Orion Township, when a tree fell on him as he exited machinery around 10:15 a.m., according to the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO).
The man was pinned in a wooded area, and first responders used multiple pieces of equipment to extract him before airlifting him to Saint Marys Hospital with potential critical injuries.
