Dahlonega man killed in tree-cutting accident in North Hall

By Hamilton Keener Anchor / Reporter

One man was killed and another man was injured Thursday in a tree-cutting incident in the 6100 block of River Run Circle in north Hall County.

B.J. Williams with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said deputies arrived just after 5 p.m. and found Bryan Timothy Abercrombie, 67, of Dahlonega suffering from traumatic injuries.

Abercrombie was taken to a local hospital where he died of his injuries. 

Williams said a second Dahlonega man suffered nonlife-threatening injuries in the accident. 

The investigation found the two men were cutting down a tree on a creek bank on the property.

Abercrombie operated a come-along tool while the other man cut the tree.

“The tree fell and a section of it struck Mr. Abercrombie, catapulting him off the 15-foot creek bank and into a ravine,” Williams said in an email. 

A person inside the home called 911 to report the accident.
