A 21-year-old man has been killed by a rolling log while working to clear trees in central Pennsylvania.
The Snyder County coroner says the victim is Dayton Kratzer, of Beavertown.
Kratzer was working with his brother when a log that had previously been cut rolled onto him as the men were trying to move it. The men had been hired as private contractors to clear the property.
