SPRING VALLEY (NEWS 8) - Residents in Spring Valley were rudely awakened late Monday night when a massive tree came crashing down.
The 80 foot tall Eucalyptus tree fell just before 11 p.m. on Monday night at the Lakeview Village Apartments.
The giant tree took out a portion of a carport and smashed a silver Porsche Boxster that was parked underneath. A Nissan Altima and 2 separate Chevy Cruze’s were also damaged when the tree fell.
Landscaping crews were initially called to the scene, but were later told to not touch the tree until the insurance company arrived.
Neighbors say the tree may have fell because it was watered every single night which may have caused the soil to get soft.
Crew say it will take them approximately three hours to cut up the tree and get it hauled away.
