Massive Tree Falls On San Diego Home, Killing Couple

Two people died when a massive tree collapsed onto a house in Point Loma Monday morning, authorities said. The tree crushed a two-story house in the 4400 block of Santa Monica Avenue around 6 a.m. San Diego Fire-Rescue Department official said a man and woman who were on the second story of the house died. A third person who was on the first story was rescued by firefighters. He was not hurt. “It was horrendous. I’ve never heard anything like it. It was crashing and people yelling,” a neighbor told FOX 5. “The tree has been here as long as I’ve moved here 50 years ago. It’s been pruned and re-pruned. It was an accident waiting to happen.”
