Just before 11 a.m., on February 3, the Wichita Falls Police Department was called to the scene of an accident in the 1500 block of Austin Street. Reports state that a male was cutting tree branches in a tall tree, approximately 30 to 40 feet high, when he slipped.
After the man slipped, he became entrapped in the tree. The male suffered head trauma during the incident. Sadly, the man suffered fatal injuries in the incident and was declared deceased at the scene.
At this time, WFPD is investigating.
We would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
