Ancient pine tree falls on moving car during heavy rain in Vietnam’s Da Lat
During a heavy downpour in Da Lat City, located in Vietnam’s Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, an ancient pine tree fell and crushed the front of a moving car on Friday afternoon.
The strong downpour accompanied by gusty winds hit Da Lat City, causing numerous trees along inner-city roads to topple.
At around 5:45 pm, a large, over-30-year-old pine tree on the sidewalk of Pasteur Street was uprooted.
The tree had a trunk diameter of about 90 centimeters.
As it fell, the tree destroyed a fence below and its top crashed onto a car that was in motion, severely damaging the vehicle’s front end.
