A Stone Lake man dies in a logging accident.
It was Monday afternoon a bit before 1 when the Barron County Dispatch Center received a 911 call of a logging accident in a wooded area west of Barron.
The incident occurred in a parcel of woods caused from a 2019 blowdown storm near Hwy 8 and CTH TT in Barron County. Initial investigation shows 56 year old Nathan P. Hecker was repairing a piece equipment on a log skidding machine when he became pinned between the cab and engine compartment. Hecker died at the scene.
