Forestry worker killed by falling tree in south Bohemia
A forestry worker was killed on Wednesday while working in a wood near Pejkov in south Bohemia. The man died when a tree fell on him. The incident happened just two days after a ban on entering forests due to the risk of falling trees had been lifted. People had been prohibited from entering woodlands following a massive windstorm in mid-January, which caused extensive damage. The man is the third person to die in Czech forests since they suffered major damage in last month's storm.
