A man has died after being crushed by a falling tree at Logan, south of Brisbane.
Emergency Services said the deceased man, who was aged in his 60s, was struck by a falling branch at Munruben about 3:30pm.
Police said it was unclear whether he was a worker or lived on the property.
A woman who was nearby was also injured and taken to Logan Hospital.
Neighbour Philip Eadie said tree loppers had been working at the property on weekends.
"Most of the morning they have been lopping down trees at the back of the house. "They are fairly tall gum trees," he said.
"We came home and saw the police out the front. Once we got out of the car ... the chopper was overhead, so we knew something was going on.
"Knowing ... they were doing that tree lopping, we knew there had been an accident."
It is not yet known what caused the tree to come down.
