Authorities in Pennsylvania had identified the two young sisters who died in a freak accident after a falling tree landed on their moving car on Monday.
…Investigators said that two young girls died of blunt force trauma to the head and witnesses to the harrowing crash recounted how their eight-month pregnant mother, Ashley Lichty, 26, burst out of the passenger side of the car after the accident screaming, ‘My babies, my babies.’
Horrible! Of all cars to be crushed by a falling tree, it had to be the one with the pregnant mother and filled with kids!
A massive branch fell off the tree in front of my neighbor’s house in a thunderstorm. It blocked the road, and probably would have crushed any tree under it. It was a weak and heavy branch, soaked with rain and what tipped the tree over? A squirrel!
That was all it took. Thankfully for that incident nobody was hurt, but in this case, they were not as lucky.
My heart goes out to the family, and I wish them a speedy recovery from both their injuries and their horrible grief.
