12-Year-Old Boy Survives Being Hit by Tree While Walking Home from School, but Sustains 'Major Injuries'

"So thankful for every milestone and improvement," said Kyle Murray's mom

A 12-year-old boy in New Hampshire was severely injured after he was struck by a tree while walking home from school.

A tree fell on Kyle Murray while he was walking home from school during a wind storm on North Main Street in Boscawen, N.H., on March 7, according to the Boscawen Police Department. 

"Kyle suffered major injuries and is currently in a medically induced coma," police said. 

Chief Jason Killary of the Boscawen Police Department told PEOPLE, "We don't have any additional information about the incident," but he has heard the boy is "doing better."

Kyle's mom Danielle told ABC affiliate WMUR that she was home when a girl on Kyle's bus came to her door to share what happened after he exited the bus and headed home.

"He was just pinned under the tree face down, and breathing with an abnormal breath," she added. "He wasn't talking or anything." Authorities used a hydraulic rescue spreader to remove the tree due to its large size, according to WMUR and Fox affiliate WFXT.

Following the incident, Kyle was initially taken to Concord Hospital and was later transferred to Boston Children's Hospital in critical condition, WMUR reported.

In addition to the coma, the boy had "two small brain bleeds, swelling of the brain, a spleen laceration, multiple fractured ribs, a broken pelvis, severed arteries in his pelvis, bleeding in his bladder, a broken ankle, and fluid in his abdomen," said a GoFundMe fundraiser launched to support the family.
