Two men were pronounced dead at the scene after the aerial basket lift they were using to trim trees, apparently, tipped over along Emerson Road in Galesville on Saturday.
Douglas Poss, 63, of Menomonee Falls and Ryan Poss, 61, of Winneconne were found deceased when the Galesville Police Department and first responders arrived on the scene, according to a press release issued by the Trempealeau County Sheriff’s Department. Authorities were notified that an aerial basket lift had tipped over at 11:15 a.m. that day.
During the preliminary investigation, the release said it appeared that the lift was positioned on a slight slope, causing it to tip over.
The incident is no longer under investigation.
