Default Re: Fallen trees| negligence vs Act of God

Spotted this large failure yesterday. Must have not long happened, police had road blocked off as tree had fallen on a car stopped at traffic lights.
When i got there the car was gone but i were told the female driver was not injured.

I went in past the taped off area to get a closer look at the tree failure.
Nobody questioned me, but like treemachine i were ready with my response!

The tree had a major low stem cut/torn off i estimate 5+ years ago. The townhouses there are probly 5-10 years old so likely was the work of the builders at the time for clearance reasons.

The point of failure was badly decayed.

Absolutely no damage to the uninformed home/tree owners property, so they get away with a free removal probly under insurance
