Minneapolis arborist gravely injured after being struck by log

A Minneapolis arborist is in critical condition after an accident at work on Wednesday.

Christopher Swanson, of Minneapolis, was severely injured on a job site in Ramsey County when a large log fell on top of him at around 2 p.m.  Swanson suffered a broken leg, broken ribs, and a fractured spine.

He is currently at Regions Hospital undergoing two surgeries, with a GoFundMe set up to help his recovery saying he does not have insurance, and there is a possibility he may never walk again.

Swanson, who has been an arborist for 20 years, is a father-of-three and a resident of the Seward neighborhood.

The GoFundMe was created by his 16-year-old son, who wrote: “If you are able to donate anything at all, my family and I would really appreciate it.”
