Tree service worker sucked into wood chipper (http://www.kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=3305835)

NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. Authorities in New York say a man was killed yesterday when he was sucked into a wood chipper while working on a tree-cutting job.

Police say the accident happened behind a home in New Windsor, New York.

Authorities say the owner of the service was cutting up a tree and handing the pieces to the worker, who was putting them into the chipper. When the machine stopped operating, the owner went to check and found the man's body in the chipper.

The coroner says Julio Hernandez died instantly.

Authorities are still trying to determine how the man got caught up in the machinery.

And if he didn't, he sure wished he did. Jeebus...that is just horrifying.
