Trees falling on cars are a common occurrence around the world, yet such incidents only find stationary cars as victims - usually, that is. In this case, though, a moving car was the target for a tree which just couldn`t take the strong winds any more, and fell onto its side.
It fell exactly as one car was driving by, landing right on its bonnet and causing a rather violent and highly-unexpected crash. It did not result in any sort of injuries, so the driver was lucky the tree didn`t fall onto the passenger compartment - he or she was just not lucky enough to avoid the tree altogether.
We say the driver may have been able to avoid the tree, as it begins tilting a few seconds before the car passes, and perhaps, if the driver had been more aware, he would have stopped just in time, and the tree would have landed in front of the car, and not on it.
This, yet again, brings the abstract concept of luck into the equation, which has been discussed a few times before, yet it is highly evident in these three videos (video one; video two; video three).
