Woman killed after large tree falls on her car while she's driving, PA police say
One person is dead and another was injured after a large tree fell on two vehicles in Pennsylvania.
Around 1:45 p.m. May 18, a 59-year-old woman was driving a Toyota Corolla and a 64-year-old woman was driving a Nissan Altima westbound on a road in Lower Merion Township, according to a police report.
A 'large' tree fell onto the road and struck both vehicles, police said.
The 59-year-old woman was seriously injured and died at a hospital, according to police.
The other driver was also taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition.
'It's just kind of a freak accident. It's hard to kind of know, especially on main thoroughfares like Lancaster Avenue,' Patrick Glynn, the deputy chief of operations for Narberth Ambulance, told WPVI. 'It happens more frequently than people think.'
Winds reached 35 mph May 18 in Lower Merion Township, according to Weather Underground.
Police have not released the name of the woman who died.
