A California tree trimmer with 20 years experience is dead in a freak accident — when he plummeted 35 feet and impaled himself on an iron fence.

The tragic worker, identified by family members Rogelio Cruz, landed on the 10-foot fence Monday while on a job along Canoga Avenue and Valerio Street in Canoga Park, NBC Los Angeles reported, citing the LA Fire Department.

Family members told the outlet that 48-year-old’s rope got loose from the palm tree he was working on, causing him to fall to his death.
