Three people, including a 10-month-old baby girl, were killed after a large tree toppled onto an Easter egg hunt gathering during powerful winds, turning a family holiday event into a devastating tragedy, police reported.
According to the AP, the accident happened Sunday morning near the German town of Satrupholm, in the Schleswig-Holstein region, where about 50 people had gathered in a wooded area for the Easter event. Authorities said a tree about 30 meters, or roughly 100 feet, tall came down in strong gusts and crushed several people attending the hunt. Four people were trapped beneath the tree after it fell.
