An Ontario County man is being treated at the hospital following a chainsaw accident in the town of Naples.

Deputies say 23-year-old Nathan Deneef and his brother were building a tree stand off of County Road 12 when the chainsaw came down onto his leg.

Deneef was about 7 feet up in the tree using the chainsaw to cut a limb when it happened.

He jumped to the ground where authorities say his brother applied a tourniquet to his severe wound and called 911.

Deneef was taken to Strong Hospital, but his injury is not considered to be life-threatening.
