Woman killed by falling Christmas tree on Belgian market square

A woman was killed and two people were injured by a large Christmas tree that fell over in the Belgian city of Oudenaarde on Thursday evening, authorities said on Friday. Security camera footage on Belgian news media showed a brightly lit 20-metre (65.62 ft) high Christmas tree slowly leaning over, then collapsing next to a Christmas market as a merry-go-round spinned on the historic town square. A spokesman for the Oost-Vlaanderen province prosecutor said the victim was 63-year old woman from Oudenaarde.
