Falling branch kills Burien 10-year-old girl at birthday party

A fallen tree branch killed a 10-year-old girl from Burien who was visiting Federal Way for a birthday party. The accident took place on Saturday, August 29th, just after noon when Samara J. Lereneo of Burien, attended a birthday party at the Trellis Apartment complex near the intersection of S.W. 352nd Street and 25th Avenue S.W. in Federal Way. According to police, intense wind caused several tree branches to break and scatter across parking lots and roadways. One of Samara’s friends who was also attending the party noticed that she had tripped over a tree branch and went to help her up. Upon approaching the girl found Samara on her back, under the branch with a significant head wound which had already caused significant blood loss. Despite emergency responders best efforts, they were unable to revive Samara. Samara was one of two people who were killed during the windstorm in King County.
