From Lewis County Sirens. This isn't very far away. Tragic--a young guy. Sounds like on a skyline side.

A 21-year-old man was killed in a logging accident yesterday north of Morton.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office reports it occurred about noon at a logging site about a mile and a half east of the 1100 block of state Route 7.
Tyler Bryan, 1992 – 2014
Aid responded and CPR was conducted for up to 45 minutes but the young man from Toledo died at the scene, Sgt. Rob Snaza said.
Snaza said the victim was working at the lower end of a slope when it appeared one of three logs being pulled up by a cable began to spin and struck him either in the head or chest.
The Lewis County Coroner’s Office identifies him as Tyler Bryan, of Winlock, as he just relocated there last week.
Snaza said he didn’t know who the logger was working for.
An inspector from the Department of Labor and Industries went out there and is investigating today, according to a spokesperson for the state agency. The logging business is Brintech, based in Mossyrock, Elaine Fischer said.
It was just last month when another Toledo resident was killed while cutting timber. Sixty-three-year-old Alex Oberg was working alone at a site in the Toledo area on Jan. 16.
Oberg was not an employee, but the father of the owner of Dawn Til Dusk, based in Toledo, according to L&I. The sheriff’s office said a tree fell on Oberg as he was employing a “domino” tree falling technique.
