SULLIVAN, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire State Police say a logging worker has been killed in an accident in Sullivan.

Police say a tree apparently crashed into the cab of the man's skidder, a heavy tree-removal vehicle he was working in.

WMUR-TV says the man's body was found Wednesday.

The name of the victim has not been released.

I'm hoping a buddy didn't fall a tree on him. My guess is he was pulling a turn and one of the trees dislodged a hanger that came down on the cab. It's difficult to get detailed information on these accidents.

I would like to know a little more.
I've dropped 800 BF pines on my Tree farmer and it didn't bother it at all.

Maybe a limb stuck in and got him?

RIP.
