Two men were cutting trees, according to officials, when one of the trees landed on top of the 20-year-old man. They were logging on a farm 80 to 90 feet down a steep hill by a ravine.

The area was so remote and the man's injuries so severe that police couldn't wait for big machinery. Emergency responders went down to get the man.

Police haven't released the victim's name, but he was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital with life-threatening injuries.
