Woman, son pinned by falling tree branch

A woman and her young son were hurt after a large branch fell from an oak tree and pinned them to the ground. The Bay City Times reported that a man called 911 on Wednesday afternoon after seeing the woman and boy beneath the branch. They were taken to a hospital after fire crews lifted the branch. Bay City Interim Fire Chief Karey Prieur said the woman and the 3- to 4-year-old boy were conscious. Prieur said a number of children from a nearby school were in the area just before the branch fell.
