17 March 1995
A Schoolboy died today and seven others were injured, one
seriously, when a tree crashed down on them as they sheltered from a
storm.
The boys, all boarders aged between 14 and 15 from the private Seaford
College, East Lavington, West Sussex, were training with the Army Cadet
Corps.
Police said the boys had been sheltering behind a shed in the college
grounds when a gust brought the tree crashing down.
One of the boys was found to be dead at the scene.
The most badly hurt were airlifted to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, by police helicopter.
