A spectacular video shows a car narrowly escaping a fall from a tree on April 14 in North Carolina.
An SUV-type car was nearly hit by a fall from a huge tree in Durham, North Carolina on April 14.
A camera recorded its passage, just seconds before the tree crashed into the roadway, dragging traffic lights and power lines with it. A scene worthy of a disaster film but larger than life, which has been widely relayed on the Internet.
Wow, that was lucky! We’ll be working with our Public Works team to check utilities at Markham/Washington, remove the tree, and rebuild the signal. Until further notice, please avoid travelling in this area for this u26a0ufe0fCLOSURE ALERT!u26a0ufe0f https://t.co/QwKzCCrCNs

“Wow, that was lucky!” Even commented the Durham Department of Transportation on Twitter. The ministry said it was working to remove the tree and repair damaged lines. Durham’s Urban Forestry Department, meanwhile, said the event was caused by the tree’s weak root system.
