LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — A tree trimmer has died from injuries he suffered in a fall from a cherry-picker in central Pennsylvania.

The accident happened in Manor Township on Monday. Police say 40-year-old York resident Alan Price was working in the truck’s bucket, about 50 feet up, when a pivot on the bucket broke and he fell to the ground.

Police say two other workers were with Price, but were working on the ground.
