Authorities say a teenager working for a tree-trimming service died in northeastern Indiana when a log rolled out of a trailer and struck him. Blackford County's coroner says 18-year-old Braeden Depew of Kokomo was pronounced dead at the scene Saturday morning on Montpelier’s west side. He says Depew was fatally injured when a log shifted, rolled out of a dump trailer and struck him in the town about 35 miles south of Fort Wayne. The Star Press reports that Depew died as a result of blunt force trauma to the upper body. The deadly accident remains under investigation.
