ACSO: Logging accident requires Air Evac

By Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office

The Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to a logging accident 16 miles east of Columbia in the Neatsville community of Adair County this afternoon.

Adair county 911 received the call at 1:57pmCT of a 23 year old that had been struck by a falling limb. According to witness statements given to the Sheriff's Office, David Miller, age 23, of Pellyton, was cutting a tree down for harvest when a large limb came down unexpectedly. Another logger had attempted to alert Miller to the danger, but the noise from the chainsaw made it impossible. The limb struck David in the head, busting through his hard hat.

Due to the distance and rough terrain at the accident site, the Adair County Fire Department, Knifley Fire Department and Emergency Management were notified for additional staff and resources to assist.

EMS worked to stabilize the patient and treat him on scene before transport. A landing zone for air medical was established at EMS request at a local church in the area. Miller was loaded into an Air Evac helicopter and transported to University of Kentucky.
