Several witnesses, including the victim's son, tried to lift the tree off her, but it was too large and heavy. 💔
CUPERTINO, Calif. - Family and friends are distraught after a California mother was crushed by a falling tree while hiking on a popular trail with her son’s Boy Scout troop.
One witness said the group consisted of three adults and four boys from a Sunnyvale Boy Scout troop. They were about three-and-a-half miles into the park when the tree fell on the victim. “We were trying to think on our toes real quick and trying to see if we could lift the log that was on her body… a little bit, so she could breathe,” he said.
Authorities say the ground in the park was saturated and muddy Sunday morning, as it had been raining off and on. In those conditions, they say it doesn’t take much wind to topple the trees. They reminded hikers to be careful.
