One of the workers at Lachish Park who was at the scene of the branch collapse that led to the death of a 10-year-old boy, told News 13 of the incident.

"The children arrived two minutes before, and suddenly I heard the tree begin to collapse, and we ran to them, yelled at the children, and everyone ran away, except for the boy who was sitting on the bench. He didn't move, he was in shock, and the tree collapsed on him."
