Man Killed in Tree Accident
EAST ST. LOUIS, OH -- A man was killed in a tree trimming accident Saturday afternoon, in the 7100 block of Farley Avenue in Northwoods. It claimed the life of 47-year old James Williams of East St. Louis. The tragedy happened in broad daylight in a homeowner's front yard; just before 3 p.m. Neighbors say a small crew had been trying to cut down a tree when suddenly there was a loud noise. It was the sound of a large branch falling on top of one worker who had just cut the tree using a chainsaw. The force knocked James Williams on the ground as the chainsaw blade cut a deep wound in his lower torso. Williams was pinned under the tree as several people ran to call 911. Neighbors say Williams began to lose consciousness as emergency crews made it to his side. He was rushed to the hospital but, was soon pronounced dead following the accident. One of James Williams' cousins says he was a father and was not married. The exact cause of the incident remains under investigation. http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=31345
