A Bellefontaine man was killed Tuesday when a tree fell on him while clearing a lot off Pinewood Court.
John W. Anderson, 56, was operating a chipper for Brown’s Lawn & Tree Service while other workers were using chainsaws to bring down trees, detectives with the Bellefontaine Police Department said.
Emergency crews were dispatched at 9:45 a.m. Tuesday to the lot. Anderson was declared dead at the scene and his body was removed by the Logan County Coroner’s Office for an autopsy.
