Hiker crushed to death by falling tree on popular Yosemite trail

Upper Yosemite Falls, Yosemite National Park, USA.

An Australian man has been crushed to death by a falling tree while hiking on a popular trail in Yosemite National Park. The news comes just weeks after the body of an experienced hiker was found in the park after a two-week disappearance.

According to reporting by SF Gate, the incident took place on October 8 when 22-year-old Harry Partington was hiking the Four Mile Trail, a strenuous 4.8-mile one-way trail that takes hikers from the valley floor all the way up to the south rim for views of Yosemite Falls.
