Last night a park visitor was killed by falling debris at Hamlin Park during the windstorm. The accident occurred after dark in the southeast corner of the park near the ADA walkway that leads from the parking lot off of 25th NE to fields #5 and #6. The top of what appears to be a healthy mature white pine apparently broke off in the storm and struck a gentleman while walking in the park with his wife and dog.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
