I believe the speed limit there is 35 MPH, it’s a nice wide section of road, it’s not raining, so I can’t think of any good reason why anybody would be wrapping their car around a tree there. I would have assume, as is most of these instances, stupidity is the root cause of this crash.
What IS IT with drivers hitting trees? This is the third time someone got a tree on S. Leland and then yesterday, some guy got a tree on Hillcrest in Antioch and several trees have been felled on Long Tree Way there as well.
At this rate, trees will be on the endangered species list!
Yes! Seems to be open season for trees!
Pg&es fault didn’t cut down trees. Law suit to follow.
