BETHESDA, Md. (AP) ― Montgomery County fire officials say two people were killed when a part of a large tree fell on a minivan in Bethesda.

It happened about 7:20 p.m. Friday in windy and rainy weather on southbound Connecticut Avenue near East-West Highway.

Capt. Oscar Garcia of Montgomery County Fire and Rescue says part of the tree, about two and a half to three feet in diameter, fell on the minivan, which had eight occupants.

Garcia says an adult and a seven-year-old were killed. He said another six children sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The adult was identified as 40-year-old Kelly Murray of Chevy Chase.
