HARRISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Four people were hospitalized Saturday after a tree branch fell onto campers at High Cliff State Park, authorities said Monday.
Some injuries were “significant,” according to Lt. Chris Shea, a Lake Winnebago Team Warden Supervisor, but he did not provide any more specific information.
“Upon arrival, deputies observed a large tree branch had fallen onto an occupied tent. Two adult females and two juveniles were in the tent at the time. All four individuals were transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries by Gold Cross Ambulance Service,” said Calumet County Sheriff’s Lt. Derek Bries.
No condition updates were available Monday, however.
The incident happened at about 6:09 p.m. on Saturday, Bries said.
