    Four mourners were hurt by a falling tree branch at a Burnsville cemetery, leaving one of them in critical condition.

    It happened Friday afternoon at Garden of Eden, an Islamic cemetery on Highway 13 E. According to the city of Burnsville, the four victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

    Though one was reported as critical, the other three were in stable condition.

    Falling trees and branches pose a significant risk of injury or death, with wind being a major cause. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a guide on how to spot signs of "hazard trees" in your surroundings.
