WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A woman has died and a child has been injured in southern Poland when strong winds toppled trees. A spokesman for firefighters says a 23-year-old woman died Monday when a tree fell on her car in the town of Zakopane at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. A 2-year-old was resuscitated and hospitalized after being hit by a falling tree in the same town. Local authorities have issued a warning against the dangerous winds of at least 62 mph and have closed mountain tracks in the Tatra National Park.
