Bennington, Indiana – An 11-year-old girl from Bexley, Ohio was tragically killed died after a tree fell on her while at a summer camp in Indiana.

Lightning struck a tree at Camp Livingston, a summertime getaway for Jewish kids from all over the Midwest. A tree fell on one of the cabins, and the girl was tragically killed.

The Switzerland County Sheriff’s Department said it got the call for help at about 2:21 a.m. Emergency services arrived just after the accident, but the girl didn’t survive: She was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s department said.

Camp officials said three adult counselors were in the cabin at the time. No other children or staff were injured. The lightning-struck tree was a healthy one until Tuesday’s storms took it down, according to the camp’s Facebook page.

The camp, which is about an hour southwest of Cincinnati, issued the following statement:
