RIVER EDGE — A tree service worker died Tuesday from injuries he suffered after falling 35 feet from a tree he was trimming at the corner of Elm and Wales avenues, authorities said.
Police officers arrived on the scene at 10:41 a.m. and found Baltazar Santana, 48, of Newark, who worked for Hardwood Tree Service in Upper Saddle River, lying on the ground and not breathing, Chief Thomas Cariddi said.
Patrolmen Marc Abate and Jack Connolly were able to open an airway in Santana’s neck until an ambulance arrived, he said.
Santana was taken to Hackensack Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead just after 1 p.m., Cariddi said. Santana was trimming branches off a large tree in a front yard when he fell, the chief said.
A call to Hardwood Tree Service was not returned.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating, Cariddi said.
