There was no one in the MG but people in the Toyota SUV sustained injuries.
BHPian arnav17 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
A tree weakened by termites just fell down due to heavy winds in Jayanagar, very close to our residence. Immediately rushed to find 3 cars – A Fortuner, a Baleno and a Comet crushed by the huge tree, along with a few two-wheelers.
3 people were injured, and I really feel bad for the severely injured guy. He was just passing by on his Rizta when the tree fell on him, breaking his leg and causing various Injuries in the chest area, bleeding severely.
The Comet seems to have held up better than expected, but luckily that no one was present inside it. The passengers in the Fortuner weren’t that lucky and were injured, but were helped out by the crowd.
The luckiest escape of all was for the coconut seller, who had gone home for lunch just 5 minutes before the tree fell right on his shop, crushing the spot where he would have sat.
Please be careful while parking and passing weaker trees. The authorities definitely need to take measures to plant stronger trees and remove these weaker ones. Just a few months back, the adjacent tree had fallen on a rickshaw and killed the driver and his passengers.
This is an appeal to the authorities to take measures in trimming or removing weaker trees. The ones like this, as you can see in the picture, are literally hollow inside and susceptible to falling. We all know that trees are essential for life, but weaker ones are actually a danger.
