Emergency responders, family members, and campground guests worked to remove the tree using chainsaws, tractors, and a jaws of life tool to try to reach the 9-year-old, the sheriff’s office said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, and the two vehicles were completely destroyed.
“Given the extent of destruction surrounding the Oldham’s vehicles and their campsite, this horrific tragedy also proved to be a miracle that the rest of the family survived this incident,” Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
“Her smile, laughter and kindness for all were contagious and will be missed by all,” the tribute said.
Sebago Lake Family Campground said in a Facebook post that the storm “came out of no where and left massive devastation and destruction”.
