Prince George, B.C.- The BC Coroners Service has released the name of the man  who was killed Saturday in a work related incident.

He was Dave Bidal, aged 43, of Vanderhoof.

He was driving a flatbed truck-trailer carrying some logging equipment to a work site along the Fort George Canyon Road  west of Prince George, about 11 a.m. on Saturday, when  he came across two  fallen trees that were blocking the road.
