COMOX – A mother and her five-month-old baby have been killed by a tree that fell in a Vancouver Island campground.
Police say emergency responders were called to the scene in Cumberland, B.C., on Thursday afternoon.
RCMP say that the 26-year-old mother died at the scene and the infant was taken to hospital but did not survive.
They say there is no criminality suspected in the initial investigation, and no further details on the case will be released.
BC Emergency Health Services says they received a call for ambulances to attend in the 1100 block of Comox Lake Road, the address for Cumberland Lake Park Campground.
It says paramedics did transport one patient in critical condition to hospital.
