SAN DIEGO — A 60-foot Eucalyptus tree came crashing down on top of a Honda Accord early Tuesday morning, destroying the vehicle.
It happened near Willow Creek Road and Old Grove Road around 4:00 a.m. It was raining at the time. Police responded and made sure no one was inside.
The car owner, Cameron Panlasigui, a UC San Diego graduate, works from home for a software company.
"I'm glad its an old car," laughed Panlasigui after seeing what was left of his car for the first time.
"I mean, that's just bizarre, I almost moved it last night actually, but oh well," he said.
He told CBS 8 he doesn't do much driving anyway. He said the 2001 Honda Accord was passed down to him from his dad.
Crews arrived early this morning and removed the tree from blocking the road.
"I'm just glad no one got hurt," said Panlasigui. "Cars are pretty easy to replace."
