Evanston man has had 3 different cars smashed by trees on his block
EVANSTON, Ill. — A man has had three vehicles smashed by different trees on his block in Evanston. Tim Heuer says it started back in 2014 when a tree limb dropped on his wife's car. The vehicle was repaired, and Heuer's wife still drives it. That tree was eventually removed. Then in 2016, a second tree dropped a limb that totaled his blue Honda CRV, that he had for about one month. And just this past April, a parkway tree dropped a limb on Heuer's green Subaru — that he's only had for about eight months. Heuer joined WGN Morning News Wednesday to talk about his lousy luck with trees. 'So the trees are all maple trees. When the elm trees all died with Dutch elm disease, they replaced them all with maple trees. Now the maple trees are mature and about ready to die. And they're dying on me,' Heuer joked. He tells WGN Morning News he does not have a garage, so he parks his car infront of his home. Heuer said all three incidents involved different trees. 'The first tree that dropped on my wife's car is dead and gone. The second tree that dropped on the blue car is dead and gone. And I'm assuming the third tree is going to be taken out at some point and time,' he told WGN. The city of Evanston does not cover damages caused by falling tree or limbs. Heuer joked his next car may be a Dodge. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
