Dozer operator dies after being impaled by tree limb in Wisconsin

A bulldozer operator in Wisconsin was killed last month when he was impaled by a tree limb.

According to a report from The Northwestern, 55-year-old Wayne N. Remer, was using the machine to move tree limbs from a field being cleared in Nepeuskun Nov. 11 when “one of the tree limbs entered the bulldozer’s cabin” and impaled him.

Remer survived the initial trauma but later died from his injuries.

A follow-up report from The Northwestern said Remer served as a volunteer firefighter.
