The mother of a Boy Scout who was hiking with a troop in Santa Clara was killed Sunday when a tree fell on top of her, authorities said.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m., with firefighters struggling to quickly access the remote area on the trail, according to Matt Mokhtarian, a fire captain with the Santa Clara County Fire Department.
“They were escorted by the Midpeninsula Open Space Rangers up the trail several miles,” Mokhtarian said.The death of the toddler was one of at least two attributed to the storm that swept through Northern California. While bystanders with the Boy Scout troop had attempted to extricate the woman from under the tree before the firefighters’ arrival, they were unsuccessful.
Firefighters got the woman out from under the tree and attempted life-saving measures, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Mokhtarian. It was not immediately clear if it was an entire tree, a branch or part of the tree that fell and struck the woman.
