BENONA TOWNSHIP,Winning Exchange Mich. (AP) — A tree crashed onto a cabin with 14 people, mostly girls, inside, trapping a counselor in her bed for 90 minutes early Thursday at a camp in northern Michigan, police said.

“Thankfully, the adult counselor walked out of the destroyed cabin and appears to be just fine,” state police said.

Authorities were summoned around 2 a.m. to Camp Ao-Wa-Kiya in Oceana County, 75 miles (120 kilometers) northwest of Grand Rapids. A tree had fallen onto the cabin with 12 girls and two adults sleeping inside.

“One of the counselors was pinned into her bed with the tree on top of her,” state police said on the social media site X. “Troopers arrived on scene and began moving debris and glass from a broken window away from the trapped individual.”

No other injuries were reported among campers inside the cabin. A trooper had a minor hand injury. Lt. Michelle Robinson said she didn’t know if the tree fell because of weather.
