According to al.com, a 13-year-old girl was killed on Saturday in a freak hammock accident.

Peri Sagun was an honor student, according to the Des Moines Register.

She died when a brick light post collapsed on her head after she jumped onto the hammock she had set up with her 16-year-old sister attached on one end to the 5-foot brick light post and a tree on the other end.

Sagun, who would’ve graduated from middle school next week, was pronounced dead after arriving at a hospital.
