200-Year-Old Tree Topples, Demolishes Two Cars

A massive 200-year-old massive oak tree came crashing down in Summit, New Jersey — blocking a road and destroying power lines and two vehicles. As CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported, neighbors said the collapse could have been vastly worse. And given that skies were clear, they wondered what caused the tree to come down in the first place. Late Tuesday, a chainsaw operator was chopping up the tree that caused a serious scare. “That tree — we talk about it every fall,” said neighbor Daren Fryburg.
