A dad was killed when he was hit by an ‘extremely large’ branch that had fallen from a tree during a storm, an inquest heard today.
Donald Hamilton Baxter, known as Don, was walking his dog, Taz, in Black Woods, Woolton, on the morning of Tuesday, February 11, 2020 during Storm Ciara. A high branch broke off from a beech tree and plummeted down during the storm's high winds.
Mr Baxter couldn't move as he was trapped underneath and was found face down with a single drop of blood by his mouth.
