Man dies in northern Minn. logging accident
A 37-year-old man is dead after a logging accident in northern Minnesota.
Beltrami County authorities say Lance Bohlman was operating a tracked skid steer with a logging shear when the accident happened Wednesday.
Bohlman had gotten out of the cab to clear a log wedged under a hydraulic pedal. When he cleared the jam, the tension under the pedal was released, causing the boom arm to fall and crush Bohlman.
KSAX-TV reports he died at the scene.
