A 16-year-old girl was also crushed to d£ath underneath the 100ft log in Satrupholm, northern Germany on Easter Sunday, April 5. Four people were crushed under the same log at around 11am. 

The woodland was under a storm warning when the Easter Egg Hunt took place, according to reports. 
 

Around 50 new mothers, expectant mothers and staff from the nearby “Sterni-Park” residential group, which helps young, vulnerable families were in the woods searching for Easter eggs. 

Eyewitnesses said colourful eggs were strewn across the site during 60mph winds. 

Another young woman, 18, was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries, where she underwent surgery. 

The baby was airlifted to a hospital in Kiel with life-threatening injuries, where she later di£d. 
 

Terrified participants told emergency services that a tree had fallen on several people, trapping them. 

The fire service and ambulances immediately responded to the scene, according to German newspaper Bild. 

It is still unclear whether the fallen tree had any pre-existing damage or disease. 

A SterniPark spokesman said the service was “mourning three young people”. 

They said: “On Easter Sunday, a tragic accident occurred during an outing that has deeply shaken all of SterniPark. A falling tree brought the joyful Easter egg hunt to a terrible end.

“We thank all emergency responders from the fire services and police, the crisis counsellors, and the staff who did everything humanly possible on site to help, to rescue, and to offer support in this time of grief. 

“The residents, children, young people, relatives, and staff now need time and our full support to come to terms with this terrible tragedy.” 

“The terrible accident near Satrupholm on Easter Sunday has deeply shaken us,” declared Minister-President Daniel Günther.

“Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased, the injured, and all those who had to witness this terrible event. 

“In these difficult hours, we wish those affected strength, support and the assistance they so urgently need.”
