SUMMARY: A 12-year-old girl named Claudia was severely injured when a tree fell on her at an arts festival in Cobb County during severe weather. She suffered skull fractures, a bruised lung, and a broken rib, and required a blood transfusion. Emergency responders arrived quickly, administering medication when she was seizing and transporting her to the hospital. Claudia is currently under heavy sedation with a breathing tube due to her pain. Her family is asking for prayers and faith during this difficult time. A GoFundMe has been set up to help cover her medical expenses, with details available on fox5atlanta.com.

The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office said a 12-year-old girl was at the Paulding Meadows Arts and Crafts Festival shortly after bad weather passed through. A portion of one tree and limbs from another fell and hit her. The young girl’s name is Claudia and her uncle, HJ Cohran, says her family has been by her bedside since this happened.
