Final narrative
A crew was removing trees from a drainage swale using chainsaws and a small excavator. The excavator was moving a tree limb when one end of the limb became stuck in the ground. As the excavator advanced, the limb bent until it suddenly released, springing forward and striking two employees. One of the employees was struck in the leg, requiring hospitalization and possible surgery.
