BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Police say a southern Kentucky man was killed when gusty winds blew a tree on top of him.
The Daily News of Bowling Green reported that 25-year-old David Waddell of Alvaton died Friday afternoon.
According to the Warren County Sheriff's Office, Waddell was mulching leaves in a friend's yard when a tree fell on him from behind, killing him.
The high winds and warm temperatures preceded a cold front bringing rain, but very little damage was reported.
Gary Dillard, president and CEO of Warren Rural Electric Cooperative Corp., said that a portion of Edmonson County experienced a temporary power outage on Friday after a tree severed a power line due to winds.
