– The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating after a man got trapped beneath a tree stump grinder and died from his injuries, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Sgt. Steve Rudlaff, with the Sheriff’s Office, said investigators were called to the scene on Redwood Avenue at about 3:20 p. m. Wednesday. “We know the employee was working by himself in a backyard of a residence, using the industrial tree stump grinder between a house and a hedge line.

At some point he got trapped underneath,” Rudlaff explained. Rudlaff said the man worked for a local company.

That’s somebody’s child,” Clark said. The man was said to be between the ages of 35 and 40 years old. Copyright 2021 by WJXT News4Jax - All rights reserved. About the Author:Corley PeelReports weeknights for The Ten O'Clock News and News4Jax at 11.
