Two young children in Walton County were lifeflighted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston on Friday after being hit by a falling tree, according to Fox 5.

The incident is reported to have happened on Wagon Trail, which is in the Loganville/Walnut Grove area of Walton County. According to the story, the two young children were visiting their father when a 40-foot, old, rotting tree fell on them. They were riding a battery-operated toy jeep at the time. Fox 5 reports that a 4-year old boy was the most seriously injured after taking a direct hit, while a 3-year-old girl was alert and conscious.
