A falling tree has crushed a 2-year-old girl to death and injured her mother and sibling in a rainstorm at Assin Juaso in the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region.

Information gathered indicated that during a rainstorm on Monday, March 4, at around 5pm, the mother who was carrying the 2-year-old on her back decided to go for her clothes which she was drying outside but unfortunately, the rainstorm pushed a tree to fall on the mother crushing the child to death and injurying the mother in the process.

The other child who was also following her mother closely sustained severe injuries.

The family consisting of the father, Kwadwo Kwae, mother, Adjeley and their two daughters including the deceased were reportedly in their farmhouse at the time of the incident.

Residents believe the disaster happened because it’s a taboo for anyone to go to the farm on Mondays.

The police at the district police command in Assin Fosu upon hearing the information rushed to the scene to convey the injured persons to the St. Francis Hospital in Assin Fosu.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the same hospital.
