A 20-meter high tree decorated with colorful lights in the Christmas market in Oudenaarde city of Oost Vlaanderen province of Belgium overturned.
3 women were injured under the tree. A 63-year-old woman who was injured in the head died despite all interventions in the hospital where she was taken.
It was learned that the other injured people were in good health. While the prosecutor's office started an investigation into the incident, eyewitnesses stated that the tree fell down after a strong wind.
Belgian media reported that there were concerns about whether the tree had been firmly installed before.
On the other hand, Storm Pia was effective in the west of Belgium yesterday and the meteorological service issued a code yellow warning for coastal areas.
