KAYSVILLE — A man is in critical condition after getting knocked out while cutting down a tree in Kaysville.
About 9:30 a.m., a 25-year-old man was hired to cut down a tree at 134 E. Shadowbrook Lane. While he was in the tree, part of the tree fell, hitting him in the head, Kaysville Fire Chief Paul Erickson said.
The man was knocked unconscious from the hit and was suspended 30 feet in the air in his harness. A neighbor witnessed the incident and called 911.
Layton, Kaysville and Farmington firefighters responded to the scene and found the man unresponsive.
“Our rope rescue technicians quickly set up a lowering system, attaching the patient and safely bringing them to the ground,” the Kaysville Fire Department said on social media. The man was revived by CPR and then flown to a hospital in critical condition, Erickson said.
