ALBANY, N.H. (AP)-A newlywed from Massachusetts died Saturday when a log rolls over her in New Hampshire.

A spokesman for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says the 32-year-old woman and her husband were hiking along the Boulder Loop Trail in Albany when they decided to stop for lunch at about 3 p.m.

Lieutenant Jim Goss says they sat on a felled tree trunk.

The trunk snapped, they fell off, and a section of the tree about 20-feet long and two-and-a-half feet in diameter rolled over them.

The husband and a nurse hiking near the scene administered CPR. The woman was pronounced dead when paramedics arrived.
