A man was killed in an accident at Emporium Hardwoods Tuesday afternoon.
Emporium-based state police say 48-year-old John B. Johnson III of Unityville, east of Williamsport, had just received a load of lumber shortly before 2 p.m. and had driven his tractor-trailer to an empty lot north of the lumber yard to secure it with a tarp.
While he was adjusting the tarp, police say Johnson fell from atop the load and was killed.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Cameron County Coroner Ted Walters.
The sawmill is located on Route 120 about one-half mile east of Emporium Borough -
