GATLINBURG, Tenn. (WATE) — A 7-year-old girl has died after a tree fell on a tent in Elkmont Campground overnight, according to a spokeswoman for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The girl is identified only as being from Georgia. Her father and two siblings were uninjured, according to park officials.

First responders were called to the campground 10-mile outside of Gatlinburg around 12:30 a.m. on July 27. There they found a large tree — a red maple — that was approximately two feet in diameter that had fallen on the tent, the park said.

At this time, this campsite and those immediately near it are closed. A park spokeswoman said Elkmont Campground remains open.
