SUDBURY, MASS. (WHDH) - A 26-year-old Everett man was struck and killed by a falling tree in Sudbury on Wednesday, officials said.
The victim was doing contracting work at a home in the area of Ridge Hill Road and was taking down a tree when it fell on him and pinned him to the ground around 2:30 p.m., according to investigators.
Emergency crews rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late.
“It’s a tough situation any time but particularly the day before Thanksgiving,” Sudbury Police Cheif Scott Nix said. “It’s unfortunate that in all of our line of work here, we see that a life can be taken so quickly and abruptly and young.”
The man’s name has not been released.
No additional details were immediately available.
