WYNNE — Cross County authorities say a Marion woman has been killed in an accident at Village Creek State Park near Wynne.

Sheriff J.R. Smith told KAIT that 53-year-old Elizabeth Gay Casey died Thursday when a tree she had tied a hammock to snapped and fell on her.

Smith said the tree was apparently rotten and it fell and struck Casey on the head, killing her almost instantly.

Smith said Casey was camping with her family at the time of the accident.
