A woman was taken to a hospital with minor injuries after a large tree fell on an SUV in the 2900 block of Newcastle Avenue in the Forest Glen Park section of Silver Spring about 3 p.m.
Witnesses told News4 they were surprised anyone survived given the size of the tree and the damage to the car, but the man who was driving walked away without a scratch. The woman is OK but was shaken up, News4's Jim Rosenfield reported. Observers said she seemed to be in shock.
The tree also crushed an unoccupied car.
Newcastle Avenue was closed for Pepco and tree removal crews to clean up the tree.
