| Hiker killed in tragic accident on Boulder Loop Trail
A very sad accident and a reminder to always be aware of our surroundings as the most unexpected could happen at any time... Quote:
When Brian Wood and Stine Rossel sat on a fallen tree at the top of a crest, they thought they had found the perfect perch to view the fall colors.
Wood said he "scooted over" to be closer to his new wife, then heard a snapping sound - the tree breaking at its roots. In a flash, the part of the tree where they were sitting shifted, sending the couple tumbling down the hill. The tree rolled down on top of them, slamming into Rossel's head and knocking her unconscious.
