Tree vs Car
August 3, 2008 | Shokan, New York | Vetting explained
It's really a cationary tale for others to be more careful while driving in severe storms.
Marty was following his friend Elan in a minivan when the wind blew a tree down right on Elan's car during a severe and sudden thunderstorm.
Elan escaped without injury which is a miracle and, though shaken up a bit, she was feeling VERY lucky.
Literally a split second and inches made all the difference!
This happened Saturday Aug. 2nd, 6;30pm est. right next to the Ashokan Reservior in the Catskill Mountains, about ninety miles north of NYC.
