LOUDON COUNTY, Tenn. (WATE) — One teen died, and another was hospitalized after being struck by a falling tree in Northen Loudon County on Saturday, according to the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office.

LCSO reports deputies responded to reports of two teenage males who had been struck by a falling tree off of Virtue Road.

One of the teens were transported to UT Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, the other teen was pronounced dead at the scene.

A spokesperson with LCSO says, “Neither teen, or anyone who was there at the time of the accident, was doing any type of work to the tree and the cause of the tree falling was a complete ‘act of nature’.”

The names of the two teens are being withheld since they’re juveniles and to allow the families time to grieve.

There are no words that can ever describe this feeling. Shattered, devastation, pain all seem too empty.

We are so overjoyed that God shared this incredible boy with us for almost 16 years. There are no “what ifs” in this situation. God had a plan for our crazy child and now He is holding him so tight for us until we get there.

We all hope Heaven has an endless supply of goldfish, that the WiFi never glitches, you always LOVE your hair and that you always know how much YOU ARE LOVED!

Please keep our family in your continued prayers and every one of you mamas better hold your babies tight and take every opportunity to tell them how much you love them!
