PELHAM, N.H. — A 10-year-old boy was killed when he was hit by a fallen tree while trick-or-treating earlier tonight.
Pelham police said they were called to Fineview Circle at 6:36 p.m. for a report of a boy who had been struck by a tree. The windy weather apparently caused a tree to fall on the boy, who was out trick-or-treating with other children, police said.
The boy, whose name has not been released, was transported by the Pelham Fire Department to Saints Memorial Hospital in Lowell, where he was pronounced dead.
Pelham had trick-or-treating from 5 to 8 tonight. It was one of many Southern New Hampshire towns that held trick-or-treating hours.
The weather was extremely windy in the region, with gusts as high as 28 miles per hour at times, according to the National Weather Service.
