Tree falls and smashes into car at Queensway

A STOMPer was at the McDonald's outlet at Queensway this afternoon (Mar 21) and saw a few fallen trees at the carpark. She says that this tree fell over two cars, completely wrecking one.

Earlier on, another STOMPer had sent in her pictures of the same incident.

She says:

"This happened around 3 plus this afternoon.

"During the storm, quite a few trees fell, but this one hit two cars.

"I was in McDonald's, and saw a customer coming in to tell people that a tree had fallen and hit the cars. I think no one knew because of the raging storm.

"We called the police and they arrived around 4 plus. They soon barricaded the area.

"It's an unforseeable event, out of human control."

STOMPer Missymousey saw this huge fallen tree damaging two cars at the Queensway carpark near McDonald's and Rideout Tea Garden. One car was hit by its trunk and wrecked, while the other was completely buried under its leaves.

The STOMPer says:

"Saw this fallen huge tree at McDonald's Rideout Queensway carpark around 5p.m today (Mar 21), right after the rain cleared up.

"The tree actually fell on two cars, it was that huge!

"Police had already arrived when I saw this incident, and the area was barricaded.

"One of the car owners was talking to the police and she seemed slightly distressed.

"Her car was buried under the leaves, you can just about see one wheel sticking out in one of the pictures. I don't think her car was as badly damaged as the other, as it wasn't struck by the collapsed tree trunk.

"We frequent this place often, so I think we were really fortunate that we didn't park anywhere near the fallen tree on this occasion."
