(Warrenton, Va.) (AP) — Officials in Virginia say a 10-year-old girl is dead after a tree fell on her home.

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office said in a release Thursday that a 911 caller reported a tree on a neighbor’s home in Warrenton on Wednesday night. When emergency crews arrived, officials say they found a large tree on the home’s bedroom area and the girl trapped.

When they reached her, officials say she wasn’t responsive and was soon pronounced dead.

The victim is identified as 10 year old Lydia Gherghis. A go fund me page has been set up to assist Lydia’s family.

The recent rainfall and ground saturation are believed to have caused the tree to fall.
