ALBANY, N.H. (AP) – A newlywed from Massachusetts dies when a log rolls over her in New Hampshire.
A spokesman for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says the 32-year-old woman and her husband were hiking along the Boulder Loop Trail in Albany when they decided to stop for lunch at about 3 p.m.
Lieutenant Jim Goss says they sat on a felled tree trunk. The trunk snapped, they fell off, and a section of the tree about 20-feet long and two-and-a-half feet in diameter rolled over them.
The husband and a nurse hiking near the scene administered CPR. The woman was pronounced dead when paramedics arrived.
Her husband refused medical treatment.
The woman’s name was not immediately released.
Goss says the couple had been married about two months.
