Police ID 3-year-old girl killed by falling branch at NJ campground
ELMER, N.J. - Authorities are still trying to determine what caused a tree branch to fall at a southern New Jersey campground, killing a 3-year-old New York City girl who was inside a tent.
State police announced Monday that Ellys Martinez, of the Bronx, died in Saturday's accident at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Elmer.
Police say the girl was inside a tent with others when she was struck. She was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later.
Strong storms were passing through the state on that day, but it's unclear whether the weather played a part in the accident.
No other injuries were reported in the accident.
