A fatal logging accident occurred today (Thursday) in ADair County. It occurred about 9 miles east of Columbia on KY 206 off of Tower Rd.
53-year-old Tony Burton was using a tractor to remove timber and it overturned into a creek. Mr. Burton was found deceased, pinned underneath the tractor, by Adair Co. Sheriff Josh Brockman. The investigation was turned over to KSP since Sheriff Brockman is a cousin to the deceased.
