A 10-year-old Alabama boy was dead after a wave launched a log into the air, striking him while he was on the beach.
The wave was triggered by a storm surge resulting from Tropical Storm Cindy, an official told CBS News.
The boy was outside the family’s beachfront condo they had rented when he was struck, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office said, WKRN reported.
A huge wave came in, crashing into a log, causing it to fly towards the child, officials said. The boy was hit in the head, causing severe facial and head trauma.
