Accident Report

Around June 26, 2026, one person was killed as the result of a work accident that took place off Highway 154.

Preliminary statements from OSHA listed the employer involved in the incident as “Amigo Forestry Service, Inc,” and they said the work falls under “Support Activities for Forestry.”

Right now, specific circumstances are unclear. The OSHA inspection detail does not give information about the accident, how the worker died, or whether or not they’re currently considering any penalties.

Investigations appear to be ongoing.

How Did This Accident Occur?

Without more evidence about the incident, I certainly don’t want to blindly speculate about the facts. What’s important is making sure someone is at least getting answers for the worker’s family. It would surprise folks just how often a worker loses their life, then their family is left weeks or months—sometimes over a year—to actually get answers.

That’s one of the most common reasons why people call me about work accidents. They’re not looking to throw blame around; they just want to know what happened. Sometimes, it just takes independent investigators stepping in to focus on the concerns of the family to finally get information. If that leads to any sort of accountability, so be it. That’s up to the evidence to say one way or another. My hope is that those affected by this incident aren’t being left in the dark. If are still doubts or concerns about this accident, though, it unfortunately wouldn’t be the first time.
